LED Shoes Use Panels to Turn High-Tops & Stilettos Into Trippy Accessories

LED lights are the newest in high-top shoes. The high-top kicks produced by Creative Recreation feature flexible LED sheets as panels on the side and back of the LED shoes. The unusual combination of leather and the electrical board-like pattern make these kicks an attractive addition to any shoe collector's closet.

Fiber optics and LED lights are also used in heels to make a snazzy stiletto or a light-up slouch.

Implications - I'm sure if Michael Jackson was alive, he'd totally use these shoes in a remake of the Billie Jean video. Who can forget the iconic scene where he walks down a street with light up panels? With these LED Shoes, he wouldn't even need those special effects.
