Nike Unveiled Self-Lacing Sneakers, But They're Not Back to the Future Style
In 2011 Nike made replicas of the self-lacing sneakers that Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II, and sneakerheads went bonkers trying to get a pair. But, nobody else really cared that much. That's not to say that people hadn't been coveting a pair of the self-lacing Nikes for years, but Nike dropped the ball when they only made 1,500 pairs. And, besides, the sneakers didn't really lace up like they did in the movie. Disappointment was abundant.
Now, Nike has unveiled a new pair of self-lacing sneakers, called Hyperadaptive 1.0; but, again, they don't quite live up to the hype. Sure, they sort of tie themselves, but not like the pair in Back to the Future II. The new self-lacing Nike's require adjusting and whatnot.
They're nice sneakers and perfect for the gazillions of people who wear sneakers without busting a sweat... or a move. But, like I said, they're no "Marty McFlys."
