Skechers is making kids’ shoes with a hidden AirTag compartment


Skechers launches kids' shoes with built-in AirTag holder.

Instead, they use Bluetooth beaconing technology to quietly signal their presence to nearby Apple devices, giving the owner of the AirTag an estimate of its location. Bad actors have hidden AirTags in people’s bags or cars to stalk them, which sparked a class action lawsuit. It’s possible that Skechers or another shoe brand could make similar products designed for adults with conditions like dementia, who may unintentionally wander away from their caretakers.
