Let Your Walking do the Talking

We’ve seen a lot of shoe crazes this year. First there were Heelys that had little kids rolling around EVERYWHERE you looked – from supermarkets to shopping centres you were and still are guaranteed to see a happy little roller somewhere; then there was the phenomenon that is Crocs – the shoes that mould to the shape of your foot - which were great until like Heelys, everywhere you looked you saw an army of people sporting brightly coloured footwear and they became the irritation of people everywhere. Now there is Bamz – the interactive shoe soles which activate and display messages when you walk for everyone to see - which aren’t a national craze just yet but has the potential to become an obsession amongst kids, teens and quite possibly adults everywhere. Bamz are being marketed as the coolest new accessory that will bling up your trainers and allow you to express yourself as you walk. So do you have something on your chest but don’t know how to express it? Go and get a pair of Bamz - Especially good if you have a bit of a cheeky side or are incredibly shy. Simply programme any message you want using up to 49 characters and then start strutting your stuff. Just make sure you don’t attempt to get a visually impaired person to read your messages – they will just see a red blur. Cool new accessory for your shoes or a waste of money? You decide.
