    e.html i can see this idea of adidas going over like a lead
    balloon. who in their right mind would be willing to go out
    and spend $250 on a pair of running shoes?

    the same people who go out and spend $15 on a pair of
    underwear? ;-) it's all in the "it" factor.

    They should offer a service to send them in for a retread
    and new battery for $35.

    People who do not actually run.

    Hi-tech sports clothing is popular among people who want
    to look like they are athletic, but who do not actually
    want to sweat.

    Funny, though... there seem to be a lot of those people.
    I'm guessing they will sell enough of those shoes to make
    money, and then other brands will have similar offerings
    within a year.

  5. I heard these shoes are so intelligent, they mock and
    ridicule the jogger throughout the whole run.........just
    like real people do.

    and a 2 year 1000 miles warranty for an additional
    $44.99 only.

  8. Unless it lasts twice as long, I can't imagine paying
    twice as much.
