Doubtless you've heard of Invader, the anonymous street artist whose Space-Invaders themed pixelated tile mosaics
can be seen literally worldwide. And if not, well, there you go. But perhaps in his most brilliant move yet, he's
released a line of sneakers that imprint an alien and "01 point" in the ground where you walk (assuming it's relatively
malleable, or your shoe's wet), or as Invader himself says: "One step / one point, WALK AND INVADE!" This is definitely
the best thing we've heard since the Zissou Adidas sneakers.

It's 10 POINT more than 1 point i think ;)
Nope. 01 Point.
according to coolhunting :
"On the sole of each shoe are an alien and the words "10 points" in relief so that every time you walk on wet cement, sand, or whatever you leave your invasion mark!"
Well, then, Josh (bless his heart) Rubin got it wrong. It's one point. Says so on the shoe, says so on their website. One step / one point! If you don't believe me, just hold your monitor up to the bathroom mirror...
Who the heck is Invader? And why would any hack "Street Artist" be known world wide? Most people couldn't tell a Van Gogh from a Picasso, much less some cheezy abstract artist with a video game fetish.
But if you're going to make shoe tracks that say something, why not "Eat My Dust!"? Now THAT could be the next big fad in footwear! Yet again, I'm dropping MILLION dollar ideas here!
How about: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for Mankind"
Maybe you have to split it, one part on the left an one on the right shoe.
