Comment on Nike’s auto-laced future

This would be awesome for casual runners too, not just pro/semi-pro basketball players.

If you're doing distance training good and consistent lacing can be essential to your health

You want running shoes to be as light as possible. The book the sports gene went over how slender ankles (less weight on the feet) is a significant factor in running performance and potential. I don't think adding a motor and batteries to a runner's shoes will help them, unless they're looking to get more of a workout over the same period of time.
