Comment on Nike’s auto-laced future

Comments

I'm kind of disappointed you need to charge these. I was hoping the battery could charge itself via energy generated while walking, like those light up shoes children wear. Would that not have been practical?

That sort of charging system as weight and complexity. And it's it fails, the shoe doesn't work.

If a kid's shoes don't light up, they still function as shoes.

I suppose it all depends on how much weight and complexity. To me, the need to remember to charge my shoes makes the whole thing a nonstarter.
