Nike has officially confirmed the release of self-laced sneakers

Resource IFL Science reports that Nike has officially confirmed the release in 2015 of self-laced sneakers - one of those gadgets that fans of the Back to the Future trilogy are waiting for. As is known, the character of the trilogy Marty McFly falls from 1985 to 2015, where he encounters, among other things, flying skateboards, flying cars, a self-worn jacket with a drying function and self-worn running shoes.



Something like a flying skate is already on the way (and at first there was a lottery that was remembered by many ), the rest of the gadgets are not yet visible, but there are no sneakers. Tinkler Hatfield, the company's chief innovation officer, officially endorsed plans for the production of shoes, although he declined to give time and approximate cost of the final product. The company even patented the technology .



In 2011, a charitable organization of Michael J. Fox, fighting with Parkinson's disease, raised $ 6 million in a charity sale of similar sneakers — they had LED backlighting, but they didn’t know how to lace themselves.
