Users listen to music via a wireless headset that transmits from the shoe.

The "Code M" system is built into the shoe's heel and tongue.

The company says the device will store 100 songs with a six-hour battery life. A USB port on the lateral side of the shoe allows downloading of music and re-charging of the battery. The wireless headset works via Bluetooth, and picks up music from the shoes as far away as 30 feet. Code M shoes will become available April 6 and cost $199.99 a pair, according to the company.
