Could this be true? Well it certainly looks like it. I’ve just discovered that Nike last year filed an international patent for “footwear with an automatic lacing system.” That sounds alot to me like Nike are on their way to producing my beloved shoe that I’ve always wanted so much, since that first time I saw a proper film at the cinema with my aunty during Christmas ’89 and I got my first Happy meal… Okay okay i’ll chill out.
But this is for real though. I’ve fantasised about getting these for 21 years now and maybe, just maybe, finally I might be able to get pair in 2015 – I’m first in the cue. BTW if you dont know these trainers (sneakers) are from the best film of all time shame on you.
I wonder if it does cool stuff with the iPhone given Apple+Nike’s close relationship?
