The new Adapt Huarache doesn't have laces, at least not in the traditional sense. Instead, they have a built-in mechanism that automatically tightens special ties when the owner puts on his shoes.
This is not to say that this is a completely new model, since in 1991 the company released sneakers called Huarache. However, then, of course, there was no talk about lacing automation. Taking this model as a basis, the developers built new FitAdapt technology into the shoes, says the company in its .
To untie or tie your shoelaces, you can use the Siri voice assistant or the Apple Watch gadget. In a specially designed application, the user can adjust the level of lacing tightness (for example, for sports, tighter lacing is needed), as well as the color of the light indicators built into the soles.
According to the developers, the sneakers should adapt on the fly to the individual characteristics, preferences of the owner, as well as to the conditions in which he is located (for example, walking down the street or running on a treadmill in the gym).
Those looking to purchase the new Nike Adapt Huarache will have to wait until September 13th. This will be available through the SNKRS app or Nike stores. Their price is not yet known, but with a built-in automatic lacing mechanism, the Adapt BB cost almost $350 (about 23 thousand rubles). Its sales started at the beginning of this year.
