Sam, this is Die Hardman. Nike has provided schematics for a new kind of footwear. You can now fabricate Nike Powered Footwear from any Access Terminal connected to the Chrial Network.
Nike says its first ‘powered footwear’ is like an e-bike for your feet

Time to revisit Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I had to replace the CMOS battery in my PS2 so the system time was correct, so I got to get some repair time in before starting a new game. This is my original copy of the game, on my original PlayStation 2 so this play through will be extra special!
