The Addidas Adipure Trainers Will Make You Part-Frog Part-Olympian

Despite nonstop public mockery, the "barefoot shoes" craze continues to grow and Addidas is joining the bandwagon with their Adipure trainers in tow.
It looks like the shoe is on the other foot now! The fashion snobs who heckled the emergence of barefoot shoes will be eating their words now that Addidas has thrown the full weight of their company behind the Adipure trainers. These barefooters leave your toes separated, your feet closer to the ground and your natural dexterity intact. And how exactly does the athletics company intend to diffuse ridicule? The Adipure shoes aren't designed for day-to-day life, but instead are exclusively meant to be worn while at the gym.
By relegating these shoes to gym, where function always supercedes form, Addidas is forcing their proverbial foot into the door. Who knows, in three years these hightops may seem entirely normal!
