Nike announces self-lacing shoes for the masses

Perfect for the super intelligent Coin "Supporters" around here.  Cheesy



Quote
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  Cheesy

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.

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.
