Porsche Design running shoe with suspension

By Rain Noe - April 6, 2009

in Object Culture

Your correspondent is "on holiday" in the UK, and here in London is the first time I've actually seen Porsche Design's Bounce S running shoe (sorry--"trainer") in real life. The insane-looking kick has metal springs and lever arms built into its suspension and is designed to actually deliver increases in propulsion, rather than merely cushioning your footfalls. No word on whether it actually works--the darn things cost more than my ticket back home.
