After the Nike MAG was showcased in 2015 with power lacing, we knew the brand would have more shoes landing with the futuristic automatic lacing system. With that being said, the Swoosh brand has just introduced the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0.
The shoes are a brainstorm that came to life by designers Tinker Hatfield and Tiffany Beers. The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 will be the first performance sneaker to feature adaptive lacing. After extensive research into the electrical, digital and mechanical engineering, Nike has came up with a product that will change the way footwear is worn. In addition, the auto lacing system will allow you to have a personalized lockdown feel that can always be adjusted.
While the HyperAdapt 1.0 will not automatically lace itself, it can be manually controlled but is a huge step for the future mashing sneakers and technology.
