That is mad cool. Adidas sounds a tad pissed they didn't get first dibs to make the soccer rubber. And what a mind this guy has! Though I want a demonstration of his hotel mini-bar software.

Those look nasty for getting kicked in the ankle by! If the opposing team is wearing those bad boys, I'm not even thinking about my ankles, I'm worrying about the thickness of my cup.
