Now you can achieve that expensive TRON sneaker look for only $10 thanks to these LED shoelaces.
The laces come in four colors and the lights can be set to flash or double flash on a whim. However, they do include a rather bulky battery pack that must be attached near the tongue of the shoe, but if you are buying LED shoelaces, chances are the word “subtle” isn’t in your vocabulary anyway.

I didn’t watch the show, but I understand that Chris Brown’s uncomfortable Michael Jackson tribute this past weekend featured dancers dressed in illuminated clothes during the Smooth Criminal number.
Well, iLuminate, the company behind the light-up clothing has informed me that they are currently accepting offers for event work, and they have some videos that show off what their system can do.
Oh, excuse me. What I meant to say was the “Costume Institute Gala Benefit ball in NYC.”
The dress, designed by CuteCircuit, featured color-changing leds controlled by a switch in her bra. Oh my.
Katy said: ‘I feel like I really have to represent those girls that just go for it and do their own thing and, you know, have their own bit of spontaneity and self confidence,’ she said.
‘I think sometimes in fashion it can get a little stuffy so I wanted to lighten up!’

Chris and Madeleine Ball created a t-shirt which incorporates an Arduino Lilypad, Bluetooth dongle, and an Android phone to send the number of unread emails in their inbox to the shirt, which will show up as illuminated LEDs via conductive threads. The shirt has 7 LEDs and can display up to 127 new messages. For most of us, 126 of those will be spam.
If you want to try and make one of your own, check out the project page to obtain the source code that runs on the Lilypad and the python script.

Why should kids be the only ones to have lights on their shoes? I say put ‘em on sneakers, boots and even sandals. Teva agrees, which is why they installed a small LED on their Illum flip flops for those times when you are walking on the beach in fear what might be lurking underfoot. You can even remove the light and add it to your keychain.
I have to admit, it’s a more practical idea than liquor sandals.

It won’t be able to heal wounds, but these new Go-Gloves will definitely put light right at your fingertips. Designed as work gloves, Go-Gloves feature LED lights on each hand that can be placed on one of four different attachment points. They also have added protection in the form of a reinforced foam-padded palm.
…because it’s clear that watchmaking is no longer about telling time. No, the focus today is more about making complex wrist candy. In the case of the Cosmo watch, Storm London has cooked up a futuristic look with a multicolored LED display that its almost completely indecipherable. Apparently, the left column signifies the hours and months while the right column signifies the minutes and the date. Each color represents a unit of time—for example, blue equals 10 units. Yeah, I don’t know either, but it looks cool.
