With a moderate obsession of all things ’80s pop culture, I’m usually pretty fascinated with the reinvention of things reminiscent of my childhood.
So when Skechers sent our little guy their latest invention – an electronic sneaker with a fully-functional, interactive game feature stitched to the side – the whole family was pinning for turns to play.
The Skechers Boys’ Damager Game Kicks’ Simon-like memory game, flashes lights and actually sounds just like I remember.
It’s been built in memory-matching entertainment while waiting at the bus stop, or schlepping (and waiting) at big sister’s after school activities. Equipped with 68,000 different possible combinations – and described by my four-year-old as the coolest thing ever.
Yes – there’s a girls’ version and a mute button too.
