Okay...this is what the little thing said about the shoes:
Ready to fly? These new Nike Shoes actually boost your running speed - no joke! Check 'em out: Nike Zoom Celar 2 for women and Nike Air Max 2003 for men!
Do they really? That would rock if they do but its a little hard to belivie....

I like the girls one better than the guys.. btuthe red isn't doing it for me.. they are cool.. but I will hold out.. I wish my old Nike Shox were retrograded to be fast as well
I personally don't mind seeing more commercial stuff in there if it translated into savings for us poor users you can put Coca-cola on everything if that meant my rent wouldn't have to be so high  c5studio

its sad that some kid will be playing There and buy those nike shoes see that they make him run faster and think hey i need to go buy Nikes maybe they really do make me run faster. Commercialism isnt always worth sacraficing for cheaper prices.

Lol, cherub, do THOSE red sneakers make you run faster in RL?
Thats true joe, but you could also say that air jordans will make you jump as high as micheal does based from comercials.
I tried the shoes on, but didn't buy them (i apologize to whoever got the pair i tried on...), the main reason being the price, and the color clashes with my bright green and purple patrick shorts. The price is understandable though, but only because the shoes make you run faster.
Its actualy a smart marketing move, I mean, this is the type of stuff they want to do in real life, could you imagine how many shoes nikey would sell in real life if they really made you run faster?
I bet you they eventualy come out with: Shoes that make you jump higher, shoes that give you "hover time" where you float in the air (hover shoes), shoes that let you climb walls and stick to ceilings, and many more.
Thats in There btw, not in real life, although they are researching how lizards climb walls for incorperating the same effect into shoes in RL. "Don't anticipate outcome," the man said. "Await the unfolding of events. Remain in the moment." - Konrad

awww, switch! You gotta look at it from Nike's point of view. They only make like billions of RL$ a year, so they can't afford to have factories in the US make their shoes... wait... 
This is SO weird! There was an article in my college's newspaper about sweat shops today! Unforunately they haven't put the article up on the website yet...they might not...dang, such a good article ya'll!

Hmmm... Is it just me, or would it be a better investment of Tbux to buy a hoverboard from auctions for 8k? Has anyone raced the shoes against a hoverboard? I bet the 'board if faster. And comes in a wider variety of colors, and you can do tricks on 'em, too!!!  "Reality is the story I read in my mind, written by my senses."
