Puma has just announced that it’s bringing back the “OG” sneaker from 1986.

Though the model didn’t make much of a lasting impact back then, despite the tech being “extremely advanced for its time”.

The original RS-Compter shoes had a custom computer chip built into the heels to record time, traveling distance, and calories burned and send the results to any Apple IIE or Commodore 64 using a 16-pin cord.

Puma updates the original RS-Computer design with this 2018 rendition, with the tech getting an upgrade. The only cable they’ll need is a USB for charging purposes; and they are now equipped with Bluetooth, so you can wirelessly connect them to your smartphone with the help of an RS-Computer app.

To preserve that 1980s low-bit colour experience, “the app interface uses 8-bit graphics seen on original computer screens and inside the app is an 8-bit game.”

Like the originals, these shoes can track the distance you traveled as well as the number of calories burned, but now the number of steps you’ve taken can also be recorded.

The sneakers will record 30 days’ worth of information which you can check out on your Android or iOS device. At the start of each month, the shoes will reset, but runners will still be able to check all recorded data in the Monthly Statistics tab in the app.

The two buttons, a red and a black one on either side of a tiny screen atop the tech pack located on the rear of the right shoe, will respectively prompt the display of a runner’s daily step target status and battery status.

Well, only 86 will be produced in remembrance of the year that the original pair launched, each with a number one through 86 stitched into the tongue.

Reports say the shoes go on sale Dec 13 for €650 (RM3,091) on Puma.com in the United States and Japan, at Kith, and in Puma stores in Harajuku, Tokyo; Carnaby Street, London; and Berlin.
