Many of us haven't, however that didn't stop Virgin America from designing a one-off pair of trainers that gloat built-in screens, 'mood lighting', a Wi-Fi hotspot and a phone charger.

This is a one-of-a-kind product. Truth be told, this is the only pair available on the planet. Inspired by Virgin America's First Class conveniences, these are the only shoes ever made with WiFi, moodlighting, bloody good leather, a video display, and a built-in phone charger. This is the only pair available and this is a one-time auction. The returns will be given to Soles4Souls, a non-profit charity focused on fighting poverty through the distribution of shoes and clothing.

Specs:

• Hand crafted in Milan, Italy.
• High-quality Italian white leather.

• Stainless steel seat buckle accent.

The shoes, portrayed by the airline as being 'a piece of historic aviation memorabilia', are being sold on eBay to raise money for charity and currently have bids exceeding $10,000 (Rs 6.7 lakh).
