Nike Patents Shoes That Tie Themselves

Back to the Future II !!!!!!

We'll never see these. The world is going to end in 2012, anyway.

I assume some sort of electronics are involved so does that mean I got to buy batteries for my shoes now? Also what happens in nice heavy rain storm; if they get wet or soaked will that short them out? Just some thoughts.

No problem reagrding novelty of the eventual Patent claim since the "back to the future" movie would likely not fulfill the test for anticipation, i.e. it must both disclose AND enable the claimed invention.

In this case, since it was movie magic that tied up the shoes, it most likely would not fulfill the "enable" part of the anticipation test. ET voila, NIKE should be able to secure a patent on that shoe.

Cheers.

Where's the hoverboard and the self-drying jacket? Come on Nike.

Can I hack into my buddy's shoes and remotely tie his laces together with my bluetooth enabled phone?

 

[The Greater Good]

Woah! Power laces, alright.

Sign of the times.....

Wares my free energy aka cold fusion? I am sick paying $200+ a month power bill due to 40c+ heat.

With peizo-electric charging capabilities, you won't need the charging station. Each step you take will charge the shoes.

Good for fat people

Nike invents technology that automatically makes you look geeky, that's what.

Another example of a solution looking for a problem.

People still tie and untie their sneakers?

 

[fayzaan]

See this for the people who are fat, which there are a lot of in America now. So it will help them cope with the fatness, as they wont be able to reach their feets. This is because they do as they desire only and cannot control themselves so they eat too much

1.21 jigawatts?!?

And my parents thought velcro would make us lazy.

 

[thehockeyinjun]

You might have had your fill with the ‘Cool Grey’ bonanza, but here’s an http/www.airjordanshoeses.com/air-jordan-2011-c-995.html upcoming Jordan release that’s worthy the energy; the Jordan CMFT Max Air 12 will release in February with a ‘Cool Grey’ motif, utilizing a combination of tonal-grey perforated nubuck and nylon on the upper with a http/www.lebron-james-shoe.com/white midsole and the translucent outsole (something that was missing the Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11 ‘Cool Grey’). Slated to drop in the first weekend of February with a $140 price-tag, the ‘Cool Grey’ Max Air 12 perfectly emulates the Cool Grey XI motif while maintaining its own http/shoesofkids.blogspot.com/2011/07/love-for-your-kids.htmlidentity with the different materials. Check out the extra detailed shots below and stick with Sneaker News for more Jordan Brand information for the Spring 2011 season.
