Skechers is making kids’ shoes with a hidden AirTag compartment

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-12-22 11:13:18

Skechers introduced a line of kids’ sneakers that contain a hidden compartment where parents can slip in an Apple AirTag. Inside the heel of the shoe, a small insert can be lifted to reveal the compartment. Then, parents can track the location of their child — or, at least their child’s shoes. These shoes don’t come with an AirTag, and they don’t appear to be an actual collaboration with Apple, but rather, a third-party product that Skechers has developed on its own. The shoes were announced i

As spotted by New Atlas, Adam the robot was dressed in a loose grey sweatshirt with the hood up, a long face mask, and Yeezy-style sneakers — but, let's be real, no pants — as it play

Strawberries are the most popular berry in the U.S. for both consumers and farmers alike.
