A method for displaying game-related images on footwear with integrated or coupled display devices. The method includes authenticating user credentials with a video game platform, querying the platform for game-related images associated with the user's profile, and receiving a user-selected image. The selected image is processed for display on the footwear's display device. A communication link is established between a computing device and the display device, and the processed image is transmitted and displayed. The method further involves receiving a unique article identifier from communication circuitry associated with the display device and recording an association between the displayed image and the article identifier.

A method for displaying and managing digital collectables on wearable articles with integrated displays. The method involves receiving a digital collectable at a computing device and transmitting it to a wearable article for display on an integrated display. An identifier unique to the wearable article is received, and an association between the digital collectable and the wearable article identifier is recorded. The method further includes receiving information related to the usage of the wearable article while displaying the digital collectable. Based on this received information, metadata for the digital collectable is generated. The generated metadata is then recorded in association with the digital collectable.

A system includes one or more sensors to detect activities of a mobile object; and a processor coupled to the sensor and the wireless transceiver to classify sequences of motions into groups of similar postures each represented by a model and to apply the models to identify an activity of the object.

An article of footwear with a dynamic support system that controls arrays of tiles in the upper of the footwear to adjust the level of support provided in different regions of the upper. Sensors in the sole of the footwear, in the upper of the footwear and/or in an article worn by the wearer of the footwear measure the level of stress or other characteristics and provide input to one or more microprocessors that control motors located in the sole or in the upper of the footwear. When the motors are activated, they may compress or loosen arrays of tiles to adjust the stiffness of the upper in one or more regions of the upper.
