    We needed this? :doh: Nike teases self-lacing shoes you can control from your phone

    I certainly do, too old and fat to get at shoe laces so I wear slip on shoes. I do doubt I am the target market for exercise apparel though :-O

      Is there a market among people who find velcro too difficult to deal with?

      Good question. I'm wondering if there will come a day where you can't even dress yourself without a smartphone. I wonder if Nike is going to make this a service and charge customers a monthly fee to lace their shoes.

        I guess it could be useful for those who can't see the laces to tie or velcro to attach. Of course, getting ones shoes on would also be a challenge for them.

              Even completely blind people learn to tie shoelaces. I am not blind, but being the father of a visually handicapped girl, I met quite a few kids who where. They tie shoes without more problems than other kids. Maybe it takes a little longer for them to learn, but even seeing kids need lots of practice to learn it porperly. When I tie my shoes, I don't look at the laces I never need to look at them. I have had quite a few years to practice it, though.

                In a follow up news story (not yet published!) the FBI is requesting that Nike includes a back door in their sneaker controller so that agents can untie the laces of criminals running away.

                    On a more serious note, it wouldn't surprise me that the NSA finds it's way into this by having NIKE place a gps tracker in them.

                      So now we have wireless headphones that have wires and self-lacing shoes that don't have laces. Marketers are outdoing themselves in redefining language to nonsense! X|

                        It was not clear from my post but I was actually thinking of people who are so heavy they can't see their own feet.
