Back to the Future: Self-Lacing Sneakers
Remember the scene in Back to the Future II where the sneakers lace themselves? Well, we are there. Nike is releasing self-lacing sneakers for the holidays. "When you step in, your heel will hit a sensor and the system will automatically tighten," explained Beers in a statement. "Then there are two buttons on the side to tighten and loosen. You can adjust it until it's perfect." For those of you who think this is a bit much, the sneakers will also self-adjust as you run. I am definitely not the target market for these - I enjoy a break to tighten my laces. I would rather have soles that self-adjust to my feet and adapt as I walk. Maybe that's next. Check out the video.
Oh for the love of god.....really? Just one question....WHY?
