A while ago we showed you an awesome video featuring self-lacing sneakers. Turns out that Nike thought it was just as awesome and has filed for a patent on the design. Are you having “Back to the Future” flashbacks yet, because I definitely am.
Nike filed the patent last year, including an abstract that reads:
An article of footwear with an automatic lacing system is disclosed. The automatic lacing system provides a set of straps that can be automatically opened and closed to switch between a loosened and tightened position of the upper. The article further includes an automatic ankle cinching system that is configured to automatically adjust an ankle portion of the upper.
Oh snap! I’m about to get excited. Your Air Jordans are about to be hella tricked out.
