Remotely controlled footwear and footwear kit

Abstract

A footwear kit having a hand-held remote controller and footwear with a sole comprising remotely controlled front and rear rotating discs coupled along a lateral side of the sole. The front and rear rotating discs provide an appearance of rotating wheels when rotating. The footwear and discs provide an illusion of a vehicle or hot rod. The kit may further include a carry case with a rotatable disc remotely controlled simultaneously with the front and rear discs. In an alternative embodiment, the kit may include a pump to inflate an inflatable chamber in the sole.

What is claimed as invention is:  
     
         1 . A shoe, comprising: 
 (a) first and second lateral sides and a bottom;    (b) at least one disc, the at least one disc being operatively connected to the first lateral side and above the bottom so that the disc will not engage a walking surface; and    (c) the at least one disc being rotatable with respect to the shoe.    
     
     
         2 . The shoe of  claim 1 , further comprising a first motor, the first motor being operatively connected to the at least one disc and rotating the at least one disc, and a controller, the controller being operatively connected to the first motor.  
     
     
         3 . The shoe of  claim 2 , further comprising a second disc, the second disc being rotatably attached to the shoe on the first lateral side and a second motor operatively connected to the second disc.  
     
     
         4 . The shoe of  claim 2 , further comprising a second disc, the second disc being rotatably connected to the shoe on the second lateral side, and a second motor operatively connected to the second disc.  
     
     
         5 . The shoe of  claim 2 , wherein the controller comprises a remote unit and can control the direction of rotation of the at least one disc.  
     
     
         6 . The shoe of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom comprises a sole, the sole comprises an inflatable chamber and a pumping port for filling the inflatable chamber with air.  
     
     
         7 . The shoe of  claim 1 , further comprising a set of discs, each disc in the set being interchangeable with the at least one disc operatively connected to the shoe.  
     
     
         8 . The shoe of  claim 7 , wherein the individual discs of the set are of different designs.  
     
     
         9 . The shoe of  claim 2 , wherein the first and second rotating discs provide the appearance of rotating wheels engaging the walking surface.  
     
     
         10 . The shoe of  claim 2 , wherein the first and second rotating discs include a spoke arrangement.  
     
     
         11 . A shoe, comprising: 
 (a) first and second lateral sides and a bottom;    (b) at least one disc, the at least one disc being operatively connected to the first lateral side and above the bottom so that the disc will not engage a walking surface;    (c) the at least one disc being rotatable with respect to the shoe; and    (d) a first motor, the first motor being operatively connected to the at least one disc, and a controller, the controller being operatively connected to the first motor.    
     
     
         12 . The shoe of  claim 11 , further comprising a second disc, the at least second disc being rotatably attached to the shoe on the first lateral side, and a second motor operatively connected to the second disc.  
     
     
         13 . The shoe of  claim 11 , further comprising a second disc, the second disc being rotatably connected to the shoe on the second lateral side, and a second motor operatively connected to the second disc.  
     
     
         14 . The shoe of  claim 11 , wherein the controller comprises a remote unit and can control the direction of rotation of the at least one disc.  
     
     
         15 . The shoe of  claim 11 , wherein the bottom comprises a sole, the sole comprises an inflatable chamber and a pumping port for filling the inflatable chamber with air.  
     
     
         16 . The shoe of  claim 11 , further comprising a set of discs, each disc in the set being interchangeable with the at least one disc operatively connected to the shoe.  
     
     
         17 . The shoe of  claim 16 , wherein the individual discs of the set are of different designs.  
     
     
         18 . The shoe of  claim 12 , wherein the first and second rotating discs provide the appearance of rotating wheels engaging the walking surface.  
     
     
         19 . The shoe of  claim 12 , wherein the first and second rotating discs include a spoke arrangement.
