Nike Air Maxes get a Wii Balance Board infusion?
78 artists to "hack" its shoes and come up with something decidedly different than your typical Air Force Ones. Now, a lot of the project were more art and less tech, but that can't be said for entrant Nick Marsh's donation to the experiment. The designer fused the internals of a Wii Balance Board with a pair of Air Maxes to create a gaming knowledge that may not be nuanced, but certainly seems capable of making you break a sweat. According to Nick, games are played exactly as they would have been previously, but since you can't step of the board, you're required to lift your foot or sit down when games require you to back off. Nick finished the project in April, but it sounds like a slightly more polished version could be in the offing. Check out a quick video of the shoes in action after the break, and hit the source for a slew of pics.
