Nothing is more agitating than trying to get to your targeted destination and your shoe laces suddenly become untied. Usually, there is no table, bench, chair or raised surface to rest your foot on when disaster strikes. Leaning down and getting in the way of oncoming pedestrian traffic is so pass\u00e9. On Thursday, Nike released their solution to this common issue.<\/p>\n
At the Nike Innovation 2016 in New York City Nike announced the debut of the HyperAdapt 1.0, a self-lacing designer sneaker that does all of the \u201ctedious\u201d work of tying your laces for you. When you step in the shoe, your heel will hit a sensor and the shoe laces will automatically tighten. On each side of the running shoe, there are buttons to tighten and loosen the grip.<\/p>\n
Nike still has not released how much these bad boys will cost. However, they are expected to be ready for purchasing during the 2016 holiday season.<\/p>\n
\u201cSneaker Head\u201d social media accounts and common fashion websites are eating this idea up. Many call it \u201crevolutionizing\u201d and \u201cbeyond innovative.\u201d<\/p>\n
Popsugar, a popular fashion and lifestyle blog stated, \u201cIf you thought fashion was already sneaker-obsessed, this may just send the style \u2014 and the rest of the world \u2014 over the edge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Popsugar also compares these outrageous kicks a \u201cblast of the past\u201d because these sneakers resemble the Marty McFly\u2019s shoes in \u201cBack to the Future.\u201d<\/p>\n
CNN even threw in its two cents by simply stating, \u201cHow does a sneaker tie itself? Duh!\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Wired raised some concerns by saying, \u201cIt\u2019s a compelling vision for sure, but as with all technology there are potential trade-offs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shoe enthusiasts and Nike fans are in awe and projected their feelings all over Twitter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, some Nike lovers are upset that there is no reference to \u201cBack to the Future\u201d and Marty McFly.<\/p>\n
