Daily Greenz #132

Runners all the world over will love the idea behind Yanko design’s new LED sneakers, which not only light a path for those evening runs, but also alert drivers to your presence, so that you won’t have to worry about accidentally getting run off the road.  These Pioneer sneakers contain built-in headlights that recharge with every step, shining a path of nearly five feet in length for up to 12 hours.  We love Yanko’s ingenious invention because it encourages the sport of running, which is a great, affordable way to keep yourself and the environment healthy.  Also, these kicks pave the way for being active during the evenings, which is when your body is most energetic and responsive to a workout.

Although only a concept for now, we’ll eagerly be tracking the Pioneer’s progress into reality.  We hope to see these kicks on the shelves and on our feet soon for runner-friendly evenings.
