Nike, the shoe company who’s innovative use of sweat-shops has allowed them to rise to near governmental power across the globe, is planning to unveil a new shoe.

This slab of kangaroo skin and rubber will feature technology that makes you feel like you’re running barefoot. Apparently, the good scientist working for the corporation tested a bunch of people running barefoot in the grass.

“ ‘He said that it kept his athletes stronger and healthier, and prevented injuries,’ recalls Tobie Hatfield, senior engineer for advanced products at the Nike Innovation Kitchen. ”

So let me get this straight, it’s been proven that running barefoot is better for you than using shoes, and so Nike has invented a shoe that emulates running barefoot. I could think of another solution.

If you’d like to buy a shoe that is sweat-shop free and twice as cool looking as the Air Jordan, check out Adbusters’ Blackspot. Right now they’re running a promotion – send them a story about what really irks you about society and, if you’re included in their next edition, they’ll give you a free pair of shoes.
