Comment on Nike’s auto-laced futureparent

Comments

These (fairly specialized) ski boots have a boa lace system as part of their closure system, which uses a central dial to tighten a continuous metal lace. It's not automated, but it's close.

For what it's worth, though, I didn't find them that much faster to put on than normal three-buckle boots.
