Nike Inc. unveiled sneakers with self-lacing technology that it plans to sell later this year as the sportswear company looks to one-up rivals in an increasingly tech-driven athletic market.
In place of traditional laces or Velcro straps, the HyperAdapt Trainer 1.0 has a sensor in the heel that adjusts the sneaker’s fit. Two side buttons allow the user to tighten or loosen the grip. Pricing for the shoe, which will be available for the 2016 holiday season, hasn’t been determined, a Nike spokesman said.
“The efficient-market hypothesis may be the foremost piece of B.S. ever promulgated in any area of human knowledge!”
