    ZX Spectrum

    Platform »

    The ZX Spectrum is one of the most popular European computers of all time. Its software library is enormous and its fame in Europe rivals the Commodore 64 in the US.

    So turns out Adidas made ZX Spectrum-inspired kicks (!)

    It's true. Look!

     ZX500 kicks!

    You can also check out this link which reveals some more details and views of these ultra-crazy things. The best feature of the shoe in my opinion? The back of the shoe features the ZX Spectrum "R" key - which is a shortcut key for "RUN" in BASIC. Very, very clever stuff. Also they come with a USB stick featuring an "old skool videogame" to play. Sadly it isn't crafted via Z80 processor and there's no signs of attribute clash, but here's a teaser of the game in action called "ZX Runner".

    I think I really want these. I *think* they came out last year, though I've only found out about them now. Crazy.

    @pickassoreborn: Aren't they a little LTTP?  The retrogaming revival was last decade.

    @SeriouslyNow:  Retro gaming always seems to come in waves, there will be another one around shortly.

    I would love to find a pair of these, but they seem to be rare. :(
