Cool design, and looks potentially quite functional. No way in hell that I'd wear them, but think other people will be able to incorporate them into great outfits.

As someone who just doesn't like shoelaces, these look really appealing. (And Nike tends to make their shoelaces about 1-2 inches too short!) They evolved from a design intended to help a single employee who had suffered a stroke. I think this is a great case of inclusive design that benefits everyone. I'll probably pick up a pair once they're widely available to see whether the reality lives up to the hype.
I've never been good with shoelaces. It's not that I don't know how, it's just that inevitably, my shoelaces lose integrity a few hours later, so if I'm out and about all day, I'm retying a couple...
I've never been good with shoelaces. It's not that I don't know how, it's just that inevitably, my shoelaces lose integrity a few hours later, so if I'm out and about all day, I'm retying a couple of times. So Velcro has been my friend. My stroke didn't make things easier, either.

i use to have the same issue but I've mostly gotten over by spending much more money on laces. I use to consider it just some random string that's necessary for the function of the shoe on a very basic level, and either used the ones that came with the shoes I bought or the cheapest ones I could find.
But that's a mistake. Expensive af laces that you replace regularly will keep tied with only a single knot (I hate double knots). It's one of those things were you naturally balk at spending a lot for... string, but you have to look at the net convenience.
I can't help but wonder how many bends that hinge is good for before it disintegrates, and if these are easily repairable. Hopefully they're really well made and will last years, but the sceptical...

I had the same thought. But then Nike's shoes tend to have a limited lifetime anyway. How long do their "Air" shoes last before they "get a flat"? I'd bet it ends up being about the same amount of...

These look amazing.

Nike has a general two year warranty on shoes, but some special models have their own shorter warranty.
