Airport security threats bring certain commercial advantages to those willing to cash in. First, it was the baggie makers that got rich. Then, it was the turn of laptop bag and sleeve manufacturers. Now it is the turn of sneaker makers.
Gadget Lab reports that Adidas’s SLVR S-M-L Concept shoes are neither a concept nor “slvr” (silver?). What they are is TSA-friendly, with a stretchy upper and expandable sole which makes it easy to slip them off when going through a security line. They may look like lace-up shoes, but this is a trick so you do not look like you bought them on the over-60s shopping channel.
The SLVR S-M-L Concept shoes are $140 per pair.
