2. Released on November 24, 1989 what was the first shoe (brand & model) to have an internal inflation mechanism?

4. Perhaps a precursor to the iWatch, what show created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry featured footwear capable of making/receiving phone calls?

5. A wheel clamp, wheel boot, or parking boot is a device that is designed to prevent motor vehicles from being moved. In the US, it became known as a ????????? boot, as that was the first major city that used them for parking enforcement.
