Nike PhotoiD lets you create hideous shoes from the comfort of your cameraphone


If you get a pair of blindingly bright clown shoes in the mail a few days after a late night of drunken revelry that you don't particularly recall... well, we think we know what happened. A new service from Nike in some European countries called "PhotoiD" allows cameraphone owners to snap a picture of pretty much anything their little hearts desire, send it to a short code via MMS, and get a rendered shoe in reply that uses the picture's two most dominant colors as its highlights. If you're feeling the kicks -- 1985 Dunk hightops, if you must know -- you can even buy them, which we figure is where things really start to get interesting. Creative on Nike's part, yes, but also a danger to the good sense of shoe-wearing shutterbugs everywhere.

Fancy Shoes, high heeled holders for your mobile

Always on the hunt for fun holders for our mobiles, "Fancy Shoes Cell Phone Holders" do seem to fit the bill quite nicely -- that is, of course, if frilly ceramic shoes are your thing. While they may not float or charge your phone, they do arrive in a shoebox with lovely color label and some tisue paper. From the "Madelyn" -- a pink boa heeled number -- to cowboy boots, they do seem to run the gamut in footwear, and for only $14.95 they fall right into the inexpensive gift category. Sadly we're a little miffed at the lack of a wooden clog style, but hey, ya can't have everything.
