Nike on Thursday announced Adapt Huarache shoes. They’re a redesign of the original Nike Huarache launched in 1991 and use FitAdapt self-lacing technology similar to the Nike Adapt BB shoes that were announced in January.
The Adapt Huaraches work with the Apple Watch and Siri, so you can ask Siri to control a motor inside to lace or unlace the shoes.
With support for Apple’s Siri shortcuts, users can talk to an Apple Watch or an iPhone and say a phrase like “Siri, release my shoes” to remove them.
The Adapt Huaraches also support different presets for fit styles. You can set a tighter fit for exercise, or a looser one when you’re at home. Like the Adapt BB shoes, you can select and change the color of two LED lights that sit on the sole, and each fit preset can be set to display a different color. Nike will offer different presets for foot types and activities, it said.

Bizarre.
Boycott NIKE.
Wait around the corner and mug one of em for the shoes:)
Somebody is going to do it.
I’m going to laugh when the motor or Siri breaks down and these idiots are stuck not being able to get out of their shoes. How stupid and lazy does one have to be not being able to tie their shoes?
every time i think today's youth couldn't possibly get any lazier, something like this comes along...
Nike, JC Penny- Lincoln- Target stores-
Problem is, our individual boycotts don’t do much- the Tea Party needs a leader- a charismatic enough leader that can get folks all across the country interested, to organize a country wide boycott- to tell these companies very clearly “NO! It’s NOT alright for you to embrace abominations- IF you choose to do so- you lose ALL of our support- millions of people- all across the country WILL boycott you if you try to force you sick agendas on us!”
Pretty soon we'll all be shapeless blobs. At least I have a head start on that.
“Nike’s new shoes have laces you can control with Siri”
Sooooooooooo....Power Laces with extra steps?
In the early 70s a group called The Firesign Theater released a comedy album (remember those) called ‘I Think We’re All Bozos on this Bus’ that featured inflatable shoes. I often wonder if Nike pays them royalties. Now self-tying shoes.
I still want flying cars.
“I’m going to laugh when the motor or Siri breaks down and these idiots are stuck not being able to get out of their shoes. How stupid and lazy does one have to be not being able to tie their shoes?”
or how about when someone figures out how to hack your shoes?
maybe your running a track event and a rival’s friend in the stands suddenly unlaces your shoes ... really, the possibilities for mischief could be endless ..
BTTT
Just when you think people can’t get any lazier they do.

Or your battery in your electronic start key FOB is dead and you are no where you can get a new one.
