Intended to add depth to streamed media, DropLabs EP 01 sneakers employ vibrations in their soles to accompany audio you’re listening to. Not intended to be used in high-intensity workouts or during sports, these find best use in situations where you’re focused exclusively on what you’re listening to. Whether it be while watching a movie on the plane, in the gym (doing toning work), or during a gaming session, the vibrations pick up the deep bass on hard-hitting tracks and the high-hats on jazz tunes—plus every little detail in horror flicks or action games. They’re both good-looking and comfortable, too. Pre-orders ship between mid-December and early January depending on the selected size.
