It’s a crazy world of creators this, you’ll find all sorts of DIYers doing all sorts of crazy makes that forces one to think of the future beyond the mind. Now, being really blown away by the new gaming and fitness spin brought about by the Wii game controller, Nick Marsh thought of making his own Wii controller, this with his Nike sneakers. Nick ripped his Nike Swooshes shoes to fit inside a for a synchronization mechanism that would connect with the Wii console. This reincarnation of the classic sneaker comes after Nick’s thought that, “Gaming platforms have made it possible for people to get their own personal sports workout from the comfort of their living room, using hand held controllers and a balance board to participate. So why can’t a pair of Nikes work in the same way?” hit the jump for the video of the Wii Controller shoes.
