Sneakerheads, here’s something you never thought you’d add to your collection. If technology and performance are what you’re looking for in a shoe, look no further than the Cooler Master Sneaker X. It’s, surprise, surprise, a gaming desktop PC that takes the form of kicks, truly toeing the line between street style and technology.
The Sneaker X is designed by CMODX, the lifestyle division of Taiwan-based computer hardware brand Cooler Master. With prices starting from US$3,499.99 and going up to US$3,799.99, this isn’t your everyday shoe. And spilling that amount only gives you one side instead of a pair, though it’s worth mentioning that it’s dramatically discounted from the original US$6,000 price Cooler Master had intended to set when it first wanted to launch this bizarre PC.

The other half is compensated by performance, albeit the kind isn’t much to shout about. It’s got an Intel i7 13700K 16-Core 24-Thread processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB graphics, and VR-ready capabilities, promising over 60 FPS on high+ settings at 1440p for quality gaming. In addition, the Sneaker X is built with Cooler Master components like the FLUX 360mm AIO cooler and SFX 850W 80+ Gold PSU.

For storage, there’s a 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe 4.0, loading games up to 30 times faster than an HDD. And with 32GB of DDR5 5600MHz RAM, multitasking becomes a breeze. Only problem is you won’t be able to slip a foot into it.
