Glowing Movie-Inspired Shoes

The Adidas 'TRON: Legacy' Sneakers are Illuminating

It may seem that the shoes have embedded lights in them, but in reality, they don't. The Adidas 'TRON: Legacy' Sneakers use glow-in-the-dark stitching to make it look like there are lights. Either way, the shoes still look totally rad.
