Comment on Nike’s auto-laced future

Comments

Would a player trip if their shoe was hacked to suddenly release tension?

That's impossible according to this naive part of the article.

When you pair, you’re linking your shoes directly to your Nike+ account, so there is no chance of anyone either connecting to or controlling your shoes

Perhaps, though it's likely still better than a shoelace untying, which leaves the player with a dangling lace that can easily cause a trip.
