Are there still LA Gear shoes designed with the lights?

Answer

There was a website from Montreal that did a history on the "Sneaker Timeline":

This is what it says about the LA Gear Lites:

1993 - Near bankruptcy, L.A. Gear stages a comeback with L.A. Lites, sneakers with taillights that flash on every step. But the pressure-sensitive switches in the soles contain toxic, birth-defect-causing mercury. By the end of 1993, environmental regulators pulled them off store shelves.

So basically there may be some still around from the early 90's But would ya want them, with the Mercury in them?
