Wearables are a hot market these days and everyone seems to be jumping in with their own fitness bracelet or smartwatch. But Virgin Mobile Canada has shown true out-of-the-box thinking and launched a new line of wearable accessories for your smartphone called SmartKicks. As you may have guessed from the name, you wear these on your feet and they promise “a stylish way to keep connected on-the-go.” The Virgin Mobile SmartKicks line of accessories so far consists of the Smart-Letto and the SmartSneak.
“We love technology that makes our lives easier. But we also want technology that’s sleek and sexy,” said Joseph Ottorino, managing director, Virgin Mobile Canada. “SmartKicks are the ultimate mobile accessory for staying in touch while looking trendy. We’re thrilled to offer Canadians the chance to lace-up and try-out this new and innovative mobile accessory.”
Perfect for the runway or an evening on the town, the Smart-Letto come 4.5-inch heels and the following features:

We have a feeling that you should move on these quickly – They will likely not be around for very long.
