Adidas 1

The Adidas 1 was a running shoe made by Adidas, introduced in early 2005. It is the first general consumer sneaker to incorporate a computer. The shoe suffered reliability issues with many being sent back for repair, which initiated the introduction of an improved generation shortly after the release of the original shoes, which was called Intelligence Level 1.1. Problems remained, sales dropped rapidly, and the shoe was discontinued in mid 2006. This was my pair I bought in in 2005 with RMB2,600 which meant that I bought it in China, as there was no stock in HK. I have been using it for Hiking and I found the design is OK, and quite comfortable to wear with a good grip on down hill, but I always worry about rains as it seems the battery compartment is not water tight.. My one is still functions normally. HK Snob
