Hidden compartment makes lame sneakers cool again

Let's be honest: unless you're a drug dealer, you probably have no use for a hidden compartment inside your shoes. That being said, wouldn't it be awesome to have one?

This is the idea behind the Archport Classic. Clearly unable to make a shoe that wasn't the lamest-looking thing on the planet, the company instead decided to give your one very nifty bonus feature. The removable Archport cartridge has a place for your door key, plus room for a few credit cards and/or cash (or, you know, other things).

Jokes about narcotics aside, the cartridge actually might come in handy -- especially at the gym, or when you're out jogging, or playing pick-up basketball. You can't keep money or keys in your pockets, as you'll probably lose them (or just get sweat all over them, which is gross), and leaving stuff like that by the side of the court always seems like a recipe for a stolen wallet.

So, as long as you don't mind people judging your for your shockingly uncool footwear, Archports are great!
