Last Sunday, we walked into a group of "T-Rexes" and "Raptors", in other words 7 League Boots. The first impression might remind you of Aimee Mullins' artificial legs but a closer look quickly shows that this is not about disability but rather about super-ability!
These sporty boots have been patented already since 2004 so big chance that you've seen more of these longlegs walking around. The aluminum framework aligns the legs along a fiberglass spring which provide it's jumping power - the thick rubber feet supports the necessary grip for your first steps to daring stunts.
It's great to see how new materials advance our personal mobility, just like technology does for Segway. From a sports perspective, these leg extensions look far more exciting than those transporter wheels right?
Three more action pics after the jump.

Hello there,
I bought a pair of these about a year ago. So excited was I after I'd bought them that I could not resist putting them on as soon as I got out the store. They are really good fun but there's a huge potential for injury as you can loose control in a flash when you are running along. The springbok style feet can catch an edge and before you know it you're lying flat on your face! Still, alot of fun!
