Pumped Up Kicks

Nike’s developed shoes with liquid mercury in them. It’s just a matter of time before they make volcano-inspired shoes too. That’s what the concept RR 2030 is about. Designed for the year 2030, by which time we’ll probably have human colonies on Mars, these cleats would be perfect for a football match on the red planet! Don’t you think?

Designer: David Alberto Olivares Román
