If you thought you'd seen every Pokémon Go accessory possible002 Archives think again. We present to you: Pokémon Go-enabled sneakers!
SEE ALSO: A beginner's guide: How to play 'Pokémon Go'The idea, which is still a concept at this stage, was created by New York-based start-up Vixole, a company working on "smart sneakers" with embedded LED displays and sensors.
On Vixole's website, the smart sneakers are described as being controlled by a mobile app that allows you to control what images appear on a panel on the back of the shoes.

Based on those features, it's easy to see how a Pokémon Go version of the shoes might work to help a user play the game led by their feet. But again, the game version is just a concept at this point.
The company plans to launch its very real Kickstarter campaign for the regular version of the smart sneakers in September.
