A Wi-Fi sensor? OK. Shoes with a Wi-Fi sensor built-in? Just amazing. These fugly kicks have a Wi-Fi sensor built-in that is activated when you step on the insole. A blinking light signifies no signal and one or more lights shows you the local Wi-Fi status, ensuring you won’t ever look like you’re not a mouth-breathing freak ever again.

These are basically a design project by Stefan Dukaczewski, so don’t expect to wear these any time soon. Actually, be glad you don’t have to wear them.
