Nike has finally announced the launch of self-lacing sneakers inspired by the shoes worn by Michael J. Fox in Back to The Future II. According to a tweet from the company's Heidi Burgett, the HyperAdapt 1.0 will be for "experience & purchase” at selected Nike retail locations from 28th of November.
The Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 will start selling at select Nike retail locations in the US, but according to the company you’ll have to make an appointment to “experience and purchase” them. However the Pricing is still unknown, but “high price tag," expected.
Take a look at WIRED’s video of the creators explaining the sneakers:
The heels of the shoes light up to signal when the shoe is tightening and when it's on low battery. The HyperAdapt will require charging, which will be done by a magnetic adapter. It will take three hours to get a full charge and Nike anticipates the battery will last about two weeks between refills.
Wearers adjust the laces by pressing a "+" button by the tongue of the shoe to tighten and a "-" button to loosen. Lights on the side will indicate how much battery power remains and alert you to when you should recharge. Blue is a full charge, yellow signals a few days' worth of battery life remains, and red means you should find your charger "right away,”
