“NIKE PATENTS THE AUTOLACE SYSTEM”
August 31, 2010
Patent filings which occurred in early through late 2009 show off an automatic lacing system that is pretty reminiscent of Marty McFly’s invention in Back to the Future, and we can tell you that from the looks of it, it’s a future we’d definitely like to inhabit. The shoes appear to boast a charging system and lights in addition to the lacing component, and while so few patent apps ever lead to a real retail product, we’re really rooting for this one.
Nike is about to eat your food Reebok, Avia, Diadora, Fila and New Balance, so get in the R&D lab and come up with something fast. The following years could be your last as the sneaker giant Nike takes over the whole game.
