Nike set to launch self-lacing ‘Back To The Future’ shoes in 2015
It looks like science fiction is becoming a reality in 2015, as sports brand Nike is on its way to release the famous self-lacing shoe from the movie ‘Back to the Future II’.
The 1989 shoes will have a ‘power lace’ function that would automatically enable them to tighten themselves when feet are placed inside. This function would be triggered by a simple technology inside the shoe, either one determining the weight of a person or a button on the side which would instantly create the tightening effect of the laces around the shoe.
Nike yet remains silent, as they haven’t given the official release date of the shoes. As far as the price goes it is more likely to be somewhat affordable. However, experts predict that this launch will be a big ‘BOOM’ in the market.
