Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 — Self-lacing running shoes
Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 is Nike's first line of shoes that can lace themselves, thanks to an internal cable system comprised of fishing line and a pressure sensor located in the sole that responds to the weight of your foot as you move with “an algorithmic pressure equation.”

@rrhoover This gif should make anyone want these no matter what they do.
@chaserson @rrhoover How to make tech nerds want shoes. I want this so bad now.
10 years from now, kids won't know how to take public transportation or drive (uber/automated cars), cook (Postmates, Uber Eats), have non-digital conversations...or...tie their shoes. 0_0
@nnezhat do you or I know how to harness a horse, plow a field and harvest it or...or...I got nothing for your non-digital point. Tying our shoes is SO laborious 😉 It was destined to die in our lifetime.

We're finally catching up with Marty McFly's vision of the future. Nike is releasing its first self-lacing running shoe this coming holiday season. The shoe has a pressure sensor built in to the heel that detects foot pressure and tightens the laces for a custom fit to each foot. The shoe will also sync with the updated Nike+ app.
Can't wait to see the FAQ item titled "How to clean dog mess from your HyperAdapt battery and compartment..."
I've been waiting for this for a long time, but I'm curious about the implications of tying this to an app and a digital platform. Will my shoes need continuous OTA updates to keep lacing themselves?
@romanzadyrako I'm guessing $450+ you can already buy high-end running shoes at Nike for $250 on average. This seems a step above that
