    iPod + Nike's Fat, Moldy Grandpa: Apple II Pumas

    Before iPod + Nike, there was Apple II + Puma. The built-in pedometer in these 1980s clodhoppers look like a recipe for some cracklin' good shin splints, if you ask me.

I think they didn't take off because they lacked that crucial Walkman hookup. Hit the jump for a closer view.
