Puma Basket Colour Change "Heat Sensitive "

The release of the Puma Basket Colour Change is an absolute innovation in sneaker design and function: in deed, it is heat sensitive and changes colour according to the temperature of your foot and environment. Originally olive brown becomes dark green to dark blue to deep purple. Temperatures below zero degrees cause a black colour. One touch is enough to adjust to the environment.

This version of a basket comes in leather with a chameleon texture and acid green contrast sewing. Mid sole and swoosh are white. Details such as laces, sole, logos and inside material are acid green as well.

Casuh's Joyfon Multichannel Wireless Headsets

Those tired of buying a proprietary adapter for each and every audio source they'd like to make wireless need look no further than Casuh, who has apparently conjured up an end-all solution to multiple audio sources funneling into a single wireless headset. The Joyfon headphones utilize the firm's Retaw-1 chip to communicate with transceivers that can plug into any audio source with an auxiliary output, giving users the ability to toggle between sources. Additionally, it looks like you can take a listen at multiple audio streams, and it can even be used to hold conversations with other Joyfon users.

Zune "The Next Generation?"

There is some talk that a new Zune would be coming before the end of the year, but it looks like things now may be starting to get a bit more certain -- at least according to the folks at Whiz Byte, who say they've heard as much from a Microsoft press representative. Specifically, the rep reportedly said that we can "expect an update later this year prior to the holiday season." While there's no word on exactly what form that "update" will take, the rep did give a few less than surprising general indications of what we can expect from the Zune in the future, stating that there's "three predictable paths along which we'll expand Zune." Those include updates to the device family itself, including "new sizes, styles and price points," along with new features that'll help the Zune "move towards parity with iPod" and new geographic markets for the Zune.

Technology has come along way, and so has the Puma RS 100, unfortunately minus the computer hookup. The new and improved color scheme for the Puma RS 100 Digital is White, Magenta Purple and Cyan Blue. Available now at Overkill.
