Last year Nike revealed their plans on a new project: self-lacing shoes. The project is based on the futuristic self-lacing shoes first seen in the movie: Back to the Future II.
Finally, after a long wait, the shoes, marketed as the HyperAdapt 1.0, are being released on November 28, 2016. However, the HyperAdapts will only be released to two Nike stores: Nike's Soho and Nike+ ClubHouse for $720 according to Ahiza Garcia, published by CNNMoney Sport on November 15, 2016.
"When you step in, your heel will hit a sensor and the system will automatically tighten. Then there are two buttons on the side to tighten and loosen. You can adjust it until it's perfect," said Nike senior innovator Tiffany Beers.
So far there are two different designs. One is a black and white-blue lagoon color scheme, while the other is a metallic silver and black-white color scheme. The sneakers are light weight and must be charged (rechargeable as well). The battery life lasts about two weeks.
