feel free to file this comment under the heading "old man yells at clouds" , but it is just kind of comically dystopian to talk about concepts like "losing shoe functionality" or having features of your shoes bricked. it makes me laugh in an "otherwise i'd be crying" kind of way
I really don't get mad about things like this. I mean, who really expected a light up shoe connected to your phone to be a purely functional thing? It's obviously a novelty people wasted money on. I'll never buy a shoe that has any electronics so I don't really care what happens to that section of the market.
