The “Chuck Taylor All Wah” sneaker features a built-in wah pedal. After a Critical Mass-designed prototype of the shoe was created in 2013 as part of a Google-Converse-Creative Social innitiative, the finished product, designed and developed by Cute Circuit, is here. It works using micro-sensor technology that tracks the flex of the sole, before communicating wirelessly with a Wah Box via bluetooth, according to a press release. It works with an amp, but can also be connected to a Mac or iPhone.
Content was created with Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis testing out the shoe.
