Fox in Back to The Future II. According to a tweet from the company&#8217;s Heidi Burgett, the HyperAdapt 1.0 will be available for &#8220;experience &amp; purchase&#8221; from the 28th of November, but only in select Nike locations in the US. Pricing is still unknown, but expect a &#8220;high price tag,&#8221; according to a Wired feature on the shoe&#8217;s development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">You can check out the full story from Wired for a more detailed look at how the sneakers were made, but here are the key points. Each shoe has an internal cable system made from fishing line and a pressure sensor in the sole. When you put your foot in, the cables tighten based on &#8220;an algorithmic pressure equation,&#8221; and this fit can be adjusted throughout the day with a pair of buttons near the tongue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">LEDs in the heel light up when the shoes are tightening and when it&#8217;s on low battery, and all the internal electronics mean that yes, you do have to charge these shoes. It takes three hours for a full charge and each charge last about two weeks, with Nike providing a magnetic clip-on charger similar to that used by Apple for the Apple Watch. It&#8217;s also worth noting that the thick nylon laces you see on the top of the sneaker are just &#8220;visual aids&#8221; \u2014 they tighten, but they&#8217;re not what&#8217;s keeping the shoe hugged to your foot.

(Side-note: these props were placed on a platform with crewmembers underneath that pulled on wires to tighten the laces by hand.) Then, last October, Nike designer Tinker Hatfield sent a working prototype to Fox himself. In March this year, the company announced a more streamlined-looking consumer version actually intended for the mass market, and these are the HyperAdapts that go on sale in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Source<\/strong> : http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2016\/9\/21\/12998474\/buy-nike-self-lacing-shoes-hyperadapt-1<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/innovation\/nikes-self-lacing-sneakers-finally-go-on-sale-november-28th.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nike&#8217;s self-lacing sneakers finally go on sale November 28th Nike&#8217;s self-lacing sneakers finally go on sale November 28th : Nike has finally announced when it will begin selling its self-lacing sneakers inspired by the shoes worn by Michael J.
