A Step in the Right Direction (ASRD) is a sneaker designed to detect Wi-Fi wireless internet hot-spots.

a step in the right direction

It has an integrated wireless internet detection unit embedded under the flap of the left shoe. Once the pressure sensitive insole is activated, the unit scans the surrounding area for Wi-Fi signals and displays the result through LEDs. There are three LEDs on the flap enclosure, which represent the signal strength within a 50 meter area. A blinking LED represents no signal, while a solid LED shows that there is a signal present. It is designed by mstrpln in collaboration with Ubiq boutique.
