I will be giving standing orders to all of my friends and family ... to shoot me dead and take possession of all my assets if I ever buy something so ludicrous.

It just tightens fixed straps.
Big deal.

Homey bait. Long lines and fights after Turkey day, Magic 8 ball?

I think they missed their target market which would be people in nursing homes who can’t bend over to tie their shoes.
And who could also afford it./s

- How long before the batteries catch fire?
- When will the government start giving them to the disabled?
- Can you wear them on a plane?

Dumbed down for their target audience. They should put a button on there that automatically calls a criminal defense attorney as well.

Air Jordans were $200. A few tax years ago I calculated how many yutes I shod, but can’t remember now that I’m mini-galt.
Wonder what these wonders will sell for.

Unless they include a free Hoverboard with purchase, I’m not buying them.

If they want to sell a bunch of them they ought to make kids (up to 6 yo) shoes like that, but given that they are pricey, they would need to make them so they grow with the kid’s feet.
That’s a great idea! I think I’ll file a patent.
Imagine a shoe that fits a kid from one to five years of age and that “self laces”. Parents and kids would love it.
Once you start putting electronics and little motors in there, you can make the shoe a dynamic orthopedic shoe for people that have trouble walking with regular shoes.
I think this opens up a ton of potentials.
I’m sure other creative freepers will think of more applications...

I’m buying Nike stocks. See my post #11. As I think about it, I can imagine a bunch of applications.
These will sell like the first iPhone. Remember how much it was?

When we were young, the tighter you laced-up your hightop black Keds the faster you could run.
And a sign of growing up was not having Mom-tied double knots.

the only thing I can add to your shoe “invention” is that they would pop out condoms every time “the road got hard”...../s

You Luddite, you!
Do you use a TV remote? A dishwasher? A garage door opener? Automatic transmission? Power windows in your car? A washer, a dryer? Escalator? Elevator?...

Maybe eventually, the deluxe models will include mini cans of this stuff built right there inside them, which will automatically shoot a little spritz every time things get a bit "aromatic" in there, for those people who seem to have a pronounced problem along those lines.

Wow, hope they don’t explode like Samsung phones! Say you’re shooting hoops, hang on the rim and come down hard. Kaboom, you’re ballistic!

Like reactive armor on tanks, but on the soles?
There’s another feature! ‘Semtex Flubber For Tough Times’.
