These Are The Perfect Sneakers For Pokemon Go

If you’re going to be roaming the sidewalks and parks in your quest to hunt Pokemon, you might as wear some shoes that will help you get the job done.

The Matrix from Vixole seeks to do that by implementing a thin LED display into the heel. This features nine separate sensors that allow the show to work with both motion and sound, making them perfect for games like Pokemon GO. If you’re wearing the shoes and happen upon a Pokemon in the wild, the shoes will vibrate.

The image on the LED screen is free for you to change at any time, and you’ll have your choice of images, including various Pokemon like Pikachu and Squirtle.

While you can use the sensors in conjunction with Pokemon GO, they can also be used with general GPS, and the shoe will vibrate left or right depending on which way you need to go. You can also have the shoes vibrate when you get a call or text.

Vixole is launching a Kickstarter for the shoes (which are now in their Prototype phase) in September, but you can see them in action in the promo video above. Vixole is estimating the price to be at around $200, and will have the Matrix’s available in three different color variations, those being white, tan, and black. You can find out more about the tech savvy shoes on their official website.
