Nike announces self-lacing shoes for the masses

Nike may have backed off its wearable technology efforts a bit, but that doesn't mean the company has been asleep at the wheel when it comes to developing new cool tech for its other product lines. Last year, Nike offered Michael J. Fox a prototype pair of its Air Mag shoes that have "power laces", a concept that was popularized in the 1989 film Back to the Future Part 2. If you were like so many others, you wanted a pair.

Confirmed by Nike yesterday, the company is readying their HyperAdapt 1.0 shoes - adaptive lacing shoes that will contour to your feet automatically. The tightening system is engaged when your heel presses into the back of the shoes. Once your heel has settled, the shoe automatically engages the tightening process. The shoe is powered by a battery, which means recharging your shoes will be something you'll have to consider. Fortunately, the battery is said to last about two weeks before a charge is necessary so this won't be a daily chore.

The self-lacing tech isn't just for show. Athletes are constantly having to comb store shelves for shoes that fit their feet right. Even when anyone finds a good pair of shoes, getting them to wrap around your feet properly can be impossible, depending on the design. HyperAdapt 1.0 will tighten the shoe specifically to your feet through battery-powered sensors. If you don't like the automatic setting, the HyperAdapt tech can be adjusted to more snug or relaxed fittings. No price was confirmed by Nike during the announcement.

So all those Crypto-kids from 3rd world countries looking to "own their first pair of shoes" have something to aim for !

I just watched on the news that a famous soccer player was trying this and on my own opinion? I think a shoes is thats is water proof or other designs to make shoe invulnerable of flexible is more profitable than this. I dont hate it but. you know it just need electricity and its risky

And i think its gonna cost much and its kinda have a maintainance?

I like Nike, they have always something new, always ahead of time. This shoes could be very great but the price would probably be "heavenly" too.

Solid stuff. I wouldn't mind these shoes, I am pretty lazy when it comes to tying laces.. Right now I just leave them tied, my shoes are spacious enough to take them out and back on without actually opening the laces.

I don't mind laces, but one is always longer than the other.  That's what gripes me.

This would truly give me the feeling that i am living in "the future". Sounds like an awesome idea, especially coming from a Back To The Future Fan.

Surprising this hasn't been pushed sooner..
I actually didn't even remember that those were in the movie.
I guess i had smoked a lot of pot since the movie came out.. gettin' old too  :D

But what about this ?

Your shoes run out of battery power will they be Stuck on your feet ?
I wonder what happens.. i bet it has to be one or the other.
Either they come undone or they are stuck "secured" to your feet i'm thinking. (until recharged)

This is nice, also the price will be nicer I'm sure of it. Although I'm not using shoes with laces but
 still I'm interested on having this kind of shoe soon.

Nike spanks set to hit the stores as well. Supposed to be self tightening and more slimming than the competition.
Gives you a purple head look as all the blood in your body is forced to the top.

If it explodes then I guess you would be in a lot of pain.

It's pretty amazing that they were able to produce that Back to the Future shoe.

But yeah this is one reason why I'm not dreaming of having one.

When I frist heard it, I really amazed to this. Because I'm a collector of a shoes. This is innovation in shoes, I never thought that this will be possible.

So it's not just a concept but will be available for purchase SOON !

Got a spare $720 for some new shoes ?

PS:
I still think it needs a remote.
I also think one day they should have little pop out wheels and be able to find you in the house..
then drive over to your Lazy Boy chair and put the shoes onto your feet for you.
Because half the hassle of shoes is having to get up and go get them (to put them on)

I should be able to speak into my watch or phone and say "Shoe Me !"
Then wait as my shoes drive over to me from across the house and then install themselves.
Come on future.. your slackin'  >:(

This is a good start to manufacture self lacing shoes inspired from the movie Back to the Future. However, price is too expensive and not most of the masses can afford the shoes. The design is good but I believe that Nike can still come up with much more desired designs. I know I cant afford it but I rather invest my money that is good for long term earnings or passive income. I rather not to spend it for this one.  ;D
