To be honest, I never really cared if we ever get the self-lacing shoes Marty McFly rocked in Back to the Future (even though Nike promised it for next year) – I always considered the feature a novelty, at best. Seeing these Powerlace Auto-Lacing Sneakers, however, made me want to change my mind. The whole thing just seems so convenient.
Rather than require batteries like we always imagined self-lacing footwear will do, this one relies on a clever mechanical system of levers, cables, and the weight of your own feet, instead. That means, no electronic components to ever mess with, so there’s nothing to damage if the shoes get wet and no batteries to replace on a periodic basis.
