Hey, McFly. It’s finally here. Nike has just unveiled the HyperAdapt 1.0, the sports apparel giant’s first self-lacing, motorized sneakers.
Nike senior innovator Tiffany Beers explained how the high-tech kicks lace themselves up. “When you step in, your heel will hit a sensor and the system will automatically tighten,” she said an announcement on Nike’s website. “Then there are two buttons on the side to tighten and loosen.
