Virgin America recently produced the “Virgin American First Class Shoe,” a unique pair of kicks that feature many aspects of their First Class product.

On the technology front, the shoes also have moonlighting, a USB port, a WiFi hotspot and even a video screen.

The pair of shoes was co-created by Virgin America, Eleven Inc., and SearchnDesign in Milan, Italy. Only one pair was created, and will be delivered in a display case. Eleven Inc. made a video to explain the craftsmanship and the features of the shoe.
