The times of guys hanging out on the street with a cassette recorder have faded, but the idea to hang with music and share it with others is still alive. Thus, a small New York based design studio Ray Kingston Inc. has developed a wireless speaker that is able to be worn on sneakers.
Ray Kingston Inc., who initially concentrated on the interplay between fashion accessories, urban art, and music created a device that can be easily paired with mobile phones and iPads through Bluetooth. The battery-powered Sneaker Speaker is held in place with either one or two straps, which can be moved into different positions around the wearer's ankle.
At the same time, when not being worn, it can be connected using a stereo jack thanks to AC input.
The founder of the young company, Ray Kingston, worked for fourteen years as product designer at Sony. For his first independent project he decided to use street-art as a way to express emotions, feelings and life struggles.
This is how he describes the device:
“The Sneaker Speaker is the first creation within a new trend in which various forms of street-art are combined, both visually as well as musically. This fashionable and unique design speaker is originally developed for providing inspiration during creative processes. Never before were we able to bring our favorite music with us in such a way, that it reflects our identity whilst sharing it with others”.
