Your Pumas can tell you you're hot
Filed under: Accessories, Fashion, Best of the Season, Stylish Living
I almost never wear sneakers. I'm not a sneaker fashion girl so just about the only time I ever wear anything on my feet that lace up is when I go running, and we all know how often that is.
However, I was intrigued by the Puma Basket CC, where "CC" stands for "Color Change." The Rifle Green-Tender Shoots-White shoes are made of a heat-sensitive synthetic leather that changes color in different temperatures and environments. Granted, they don't go from black and green to oh, say pure white and screaming royal blue when the mercury starts rising, but they do change when you touch them (heat of your hand). A video over on YouTube shows you (turn your sound off - there's music).
The Puma Basket CC is $75.

It seems PUMA is behind times. VANS had the shoe changing colors about 6 years ago!

These new shoes are great, but who will be able to afford them.

Why would we need shoes to tell us that it's hot? We should already be able to figure that out. Still, if they want to make color changing shoes, they should make them cheaper and for little kids. I loved the color changing pencils and whatnot when I was little.

Oh, I am tempted to purchase a pair of these...just to see how many fingers I can step on from people touching them. And if the whole chameleon style doesn't put you in a good mood...at least you can rest in security knowing that at least stepping on people's fingers is a stress reliever.

I have the money to buy these color changing shoes, but I am not going to buy any.... I don't need such a silly frivilous thing !! A fool and her money soon part. That is what is wrong with Americans. We buy all this crap and end up having a house full of STUFF we don't want or need. Take a lesson from Warren Buffet. Don't waste your money. Use it for things you really need, or invest it. Don't be a dad-gum sheep.

LOL have to laugh at the headline "Puma will tell you when you're hot". I say if you need shoes to tell you if you're hot, you're either really, really stupid (you'd have to be to lay out the bucks for the shoes), or the coroner can use the shoes to determine TOD...
