How do you wash these sneakers?
Can you enable the lights to stay on or only on when lacing?
I just cant wait for you to invent the underwear that will wrap my balls automatically with blutooth memory ! Definitely the most stupid things on earth, especially at 350 USD ! Your “engeneers” have way toot much time and money on their hands
The app looks soooo good
Is this going to be the new trend amongst kids like the pump it up shoes. My 9yr old already wants them. It could be good for ppl with disabilities but its not going to be the ones who buy these. Back to the future vibe! This is going to make kids lazier. I wonder if they are heavy? It is a stupid invention but I have so many questions. Lol sadly I see this selling.
I wonder how it works walking in the rain with a lithium battery in your shoes.
But why so ugly?
*ties shoe from app phone gets hacked and your brain is now controlled by the Illuminati
“Be half that at $350” More like sold out instantly and $4000 on grailed.
Watches that need charging all the time…now shoes? What’s next? Hats? Ridiculous.

How long will they last in a Basketball game?
Comfortable! My grandson loves them.…At Buys9 * Com
The notch on his phone bugs me.
Is the market for people who cant tie shoelaces large?
I’m Surprised they don’t charge up as you move or while walking than after you get home to charge overnight. ;-(
How about the cushion?
Does LED on continuously while playing?
what if your phone dies out???
Last lol
Back to the future vibe
back to the future… now!
Max I can do is $1 over 100
what happened to hands and lacing?
I could see this technology be incorporated into back belts. Which probably has a larger fiscal share then the current market. $100 for an adaptive back belt automatically adjust fit awesome. Perhaps Bluetooth enabled so your boss knows you’re wearing it?
HOW MUCH DO THEY WEIGH?
350 is really not that expensive.
Now we can hack shoes
get control of their phone and then torture them lol
Just in case anyone doesn’t get the context:
Tinker Hatfield is a sneaker-design legend. Nike should (and would) listen very closely to him.
His goal is to push athlete performance as much as possible. He also brought attention to the fact that most athletes improperly adjust their laces, which can affect performance more than you’d think, so this helps adjust laces in-game.
Nike also pays some attention to those who want to do things (sports or whatever), but have physiological inabilities, like designing a Lebron line with straps.
They’ve also been pushing the icon of the self-lacing Air Mag from Back to the Future as a side-project.
First
To be accurate, Nike’s first self lacing shoes were the ones appeared in “Back to future” movie. It was real and Nike really made them
Put this technology into some Nike air Max & I’m sold
