We know Google as the famous search engine giant and the company behind our beloved operating system, Android, but Google also loves to introduce weird but creative gadgets as well. I am sure that everyone is familiar with Google Glass project, which is an amazing innovation in the technology industry.

Now at the SXSW event in Austin, Texas, Google showcased a talking Android shoe, specifically a pair of Adidas sneakers hacked by Google’s experts. These kicks can tell the person wearing them what they are doing, and it is linked to their smartphone via a speaker on the tongue of the shoe. However, don’t get too excited as Google promises they are not getting into footwear business.

These Google Shoes are like a coach, and they will make you move from the couch by saying things like ‘Are you a statue?’ or ‘This is boring’. Google is not planning to launch it in market, as it is just an experiment, but you never know when they plan to surprise us.
