That “what if” is now a reality, courtesy of shoe designer/engineer Karim Oumnia.  At 2016 CES, he’s displaying the world’s first “smart shoe”–the “Digitsole”!

Karim’s company, ZhorTech, will be offering these comfortable-looking running shoes, sneakers AND a very slinky, silvery pump, later this year–all designed to interact with the wearer.

In this Over Coffee® “CES blend”, you’ll hear:

How Karim first created his connected footwear;

What the new “smart shoes” can do;

How the wearer can interact with them;

When and where to look for the new smart shoe;

What’s next, as Karim continues to develop new concepts.
