This shoe contains 26 lights, each lighting up after you've run a mile. Now the random man/woman on the street can know what all the sweat is about just by staring at your feet. The Nike 26 was created for a Nike exhibit for the London Design Festival in September. This means that you won't be getting your hands on the Nike 26 anytime soon, but it does mean that you should expect some original [Nike designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-running-collection) in the near future.
