It has taken decades, but at last gamers have risen up. Or least that’s what countless companies seem to think given the sheer amount of new “gamer-friendly” versions of otherwise mainstream things. You’ve got IKEA gaming furniture, eSports-branded army recruitment tactics, and of course an endless supply of hardware accessories that light up in all the harsh neon colors of the gamer rainbow.
And now we’ve got gamer shoes. Check out this trailer for Puma’s Active Gaming Footwear.
So what the heck is active gaming footwear? For starters, it’s black, very important. Second, it has a bunch of cool-sounding buzzwords about how it increases performance. In this case its foot-friendly features like “3D knit for sock-like fit,” “layered mesh for breathable comfort,” and “split bottom for flexibility.” Do gamers want “ultimate grip indoor rubber” or 3D molded insoles made of dual density foam? They sure do now.
It looks like a thick sock but with enough underfoot protection for walking outside like a shoe. There’s even a sticky layer on the bottom locking everything in. And to be honest this probably is the best mix of comfort and durability for esports tournaments, events that awkwardly mix the extended sitting sessions of gaming at home with the walking around of having to go out.
So check out Puma’s Active Gaming Footwear and get some smart socks for your dumb feet. They cost about $100 in the UK and Australia, the only regions they’re available. For more on footwear, check out these new Space Jam and Star Wars sneakers.
