Upon hearing ‘Tron’, many readers will remember the Chappelle’s Show character who rode a hot hand in dice to become the world’s richest man. But for Sci-Fi fans and older folks, TRON instantly conjures images of some of the earliest computer graphics to appear in a Hollywood film. With TRON: Legacy on the way, Disney created a capsule with adidas, including the Heat Check basketball sneaker with an innovative call out to the movies’ signature aesthetic. Created with technology from Oryon Tech, the adidas Heat Check TS pictured above glows thanks to some crazy-innovative polyurethane lamps. These aren’t your average 3M reflective kicks here, folks, and none of that LA Gear silliness. And while these might not see much time on the NBA hardwood this winter, it’s undeniably interesting to contemplate a future for footwear that includes luminescent materials like Oryon’s ELastolite. via FRESHNESS
