But you NEED to know, this is the beginning of something we’ve never seen before in apparel.  You clothing will ‘come to life’.  The Hyperadapt 1.0 is the gateway to a type of footwear that not only works on its own, but continues to work as you wear it!  From what I understand the idea is to develop a show that continues to adjust while you wear it, getting tighter and looser as your foot demands response from the shoe.  This potentially addresses lace wear and tear as well as inevitable stretching of the show material.

Regardless of all of the technical pluses…it just looks FREAKIN’ COOL to have SELF LACING KICKS!!!

My questions are

1) How are these shoes powered and recharged?

2) How weather proof is the circuitry?

3) How EXPENSIVE?

The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 will be available only to members of Nike+ beginning ‘Holiday 2016’  in three colors. Sign up to be a Nike+ member here Nike.com.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
