Here’s how you can play Pokémon Go with your feet!

A start-up company is hoping to make your Pokémon Go gaming experience a little easier with these amazing, interactive LED sneakers.


Vixole has created a prototype for a smart model with built-in sensors that are compatible with virtual and augmented reality games like Pokémon GO. In concept, the sneakers would vibrate when a Pokémon appears nearby and work along with the map to guide you to the location.

The smart sneakers also allow you to control what images appear on a panel on the back of the shoes. 
Additionally, the shoes will have embedded sensors that will deliver notifications related to location and other app functions. 

The makers also claim that the sneakers are water resistant and have the ability to be recharged via a wireless charging station, with one charge delivering eight hours of power.  

Based on those features, it's easy to see how a Pokémon Go version of the shoes might work to help a user play the game led by their feet. But again, the game version is just a concept at this point. 

The company plans to launch its very real Kickstarter campaign for the regular version of the smart sneakers in September!
