the Nike of that B beat us here at scene it our in-house b-boy outfit is gonna do some stress testing all the way tightest setting go ahead let's do it alright it's the dead of winter here in New York it's freezing but we got an invite to Nikes headquarters we're gonna be announcing the new self-lacing sneakers I'm excited to try it let's go check it out they just gave me the new Nike adapt bb's self-lacing sneakers it comes with an app so as soon as you launch the app it connects with your sneakers now every time you close down the app it disconnects to save battery but as you can see it just it syncs up very easy so let me throw them on now there are ready pretty snug to lace them up you just play with the app here that's for the left one an interesting sensation and the right one now you can't you probably can't hear it from here but it makes this loud motor e sound where it laces them and these this is the tightest my shoes have ever been I'm the type of guy that keeps my sneakers very loose so this is very strange to me but you know if I was an athlete a basketball player I could see why you would want them this tight alright so just so you can hear them let me take this one off and I'm gonna lace the left one and hold them up to the mic just so you can hear how loud it is pretty damn loud these are the Nike adapt bb's OTF that stands for on the feet for those that speak sneaker heads so Nikes known for innovating with sneaker technology it all started with a waffle pattern and the running shoes and then they introduced the air we saw tuned hair airmax we even saw shocks and now we got the self-lacing sneakers we've seen these in a couple pairs of shoes the difference is these are a little cheaper still expensive at three hundred and fifty dollars but we're actually gonna see some NBA players wear them on the course so this is the adapt app right here you need this to sync up with your sneakers now we're right when you launch it you're gonna see that they connect they kind of really quick all the way down means the left shoe and the right shoe are all the way loops so if I want to tighten up all the way and bring them both up and I can feel them slowly going up here the loud motor going if you want to completely kill it get that one right there and right here this is where you can set modes if you prefer them a little bit looser or in different settings so if you want a a cool-down mode you can set that all up right here and I'm right here you can customize the colors so if you see this will change the color on the side of the sneaker and I just adds a little bit of customization there and then battery life is right here as you see I have 42% on the left sneaker 43% on the right and I've already seen these go down by at least 5% since I've been here there's a wireless charging pad you can set their sneakers on to charge if you want to run a quick game you can put them on for 15 minutes or lasts a full game if you wanted to fully charge them you would set them on the pad for three to four hours and it lasts 10 to 14 days all right let me take these off really quick now the technology inside is what nike is calling the brain which is a motor built inside and that's actually what communicates with the apps you can lace the sneakers and one thing to note also you don't need you have to lace them up these are also button so you can loosen anti numbers so now let's look at the sneakers from a style perspective I'm personally more of a fan of classics so I don't know about the way this looks instantly a reminding me of the old Gary Payton's those were the first sneakers I saw that kind of covered the laces one thing that sticks out to me I've always been a fan of customizing your laces having them really loose or putting fat laces or even doubling them up you don't have that option here so I'm curious to see how sneakerheads or people they just are really into sneaker culture gravitate to these are these going to be worn it's strictly for performance or a fashion be a key component coming at you I'm coming hatch you better watch out [Laughter]
