Gaming Shoes

Newly released by Puma: "Active Gaming Footwear" — so that your shoes don't hold you back while you're playing computer games.

Some of the touted benefits:

Medial wrap-up grip in SEEK mode
Lateral wrap-up support in ATTACK mode
Heel wrap-up stability in CRUISE and DEFENSE mode

I have no idea what any of that means (though I'm not a gamer... maybe it would make perfect sense if I was).

I think they realized there were still some very stupid people with money left in their pockets.

Well, if Esport is really a sport, since it's not played in water or on a gym mat, you have to wear the proper shoes for it, don't you?

Do they make special shoes for bridge players? Remember, earlier this year a top bridge player was banned for doping, so it must be a sport.

Since gamers sit all the time, and they already make garments to shape/reshape a woman's derriere, it makes more sense for them to market some kind of shorts instead of shoes.
