New York (AFP) - US sporting goods giant Nike unveiled Wednesday its first shoe that ties itself, the HyperAdapt 1.0, which will go on sale at the end of 2016.
Sensors at the heel level activate the lacing when a foot slips into the shoe. Two buttons on the side of the shoe can be pressed to loosen or tighten the lacing.
Nike calls the feature "adaptive lacing." Nike's star designer Tinker Hatfield said at the New York presentation that the company is working on other innovations that will provide automatic adjustments.
Nike launched in 2015 a limited-edition shoe with so-called "power laces" that adapt to the wearer's motion, the Nike Mag, inspired by the film "Back to the Future, Part II".
It will only be available via auction this year, with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, a nonprofit launched by the actor who played Marty McFly in the movie.

I seriously was shocked on how technology is growing now a days. PSN VR, Samsung 7, Nike Shoes, Microsoft enabling cross-play, etc.. I would like to see what are your opinions guys?

They ugly af.
It annoys me how Nike only auction shoes like this, like, they could make a lot of money selling these to the general public and donating funds from the sales to the MJF Foundation. I really don't understand Nike sometimes, self tying shoes would be a pretty cool thing to have - make me feel even more lazy.

Fucking hell m8. Everything is being auctioned off these days. It's like instead of Kickstarter it's Bidstarter. Next thing you know you don't go to the grocery to buy groceries. You go to the grocery to win groceries at auction.
