yo guys johnathan here and i am really really excited for what is inside this box the nike hyperadapt 1.0 is with Blendtec with shoes got a little bit of that back to the Future action going on with something you could actually wear and I got to say this may be one of the biggest boxes I've ever opened so undoubtedly I would assume we got some box ception going on within this brown box is probably a cooler box so we ran up the top boom get rad just like a box pop like dr. Fuji impactful impaction back to its flap one flap - man this is the real deal I have never seen a shoe box this big that is a fact and I'm willing to bet popping this open is gonna be mighty sweet holy crap you are creepy ish so here is the box we're gonna slide it open is it a pop or slide Wow Dana's clean something good is on the other side of this box we're about to experience it holy moly so these are actually the white on white which are clean oh it smells like fresh shoes the good news with these those unlike Nike mags where you could not purchase them and only could obtain them through a raffle these you can actually pick up and buy the bad news is they're extremely limited and they're also a little on the pricey side clocking in at just over 700 bucks now with that I am very fortunate and thankful to get to check these out early but with the holidays and everything going on I thought it would be a cooler idea to give my para way to you guys so it wouldn't smash that like button if you are excited for that taking a look at everything else that's inside the box that is pretty simple we have the second shoe that's being the right this being the left it smells like you just walked in the footlocker okay I'm one of them all going upstairs crawled in the second floor yeah the other immediate thing that stands out to me with these is how light they are because not something you may normally expect from picking these up you might think because they're self-lacing shoes there's a lot of heavy tech inside but they're actually really liked the other really interesting thing that stands out is the laces they got this really soft mesh thing going on but they disappear into the shoe so you are not gonna see no bunny ears also that lie is freakin awesome so with this that's actually going to be your battery indicator what I really like about these though is the button placement because at first glance you would have no idea they're there there are two diamonds that kind of blend into the design but those actually control how you tighten them and how you loosen them so up top right here on this diamond it's going to tighten things up and the one below that loosens everything obviously the effect is gonna be more drastic on your shoes so with that I think it is time to try them on now normally if I said I was gonna hop onto this table to try these shoes on that might sound like a strange and potentially bad idea but if you flashback to last year totally normal oh man is it comfortable damn these are way cooler than the $20 LED shoes now because there is Tec inside these shoes you will need to charge them but Nike includes a pretty slick USB charging solution that attaches magnetically for a full charge it should take around two hours but the good news is that charge will easily last you two weeks and probably more on top of that that sweet LED light that we looked at earlier will also let you know how your battery is doing so right now that it's in blue things are nice and healthy but at the battery were to drop it would then change to yellow and finally red like I mentioned these are extremely comfortable which you would hope for for the price but I think the more important thing is they feel like normal shoes and nothing is getting in the way like the hyperadapt name implies the idea with this is to be able to change things and to adapt on the fly so maybe you're running and you wanted your shoes just a little bit tighter for that extra bit of support instead of untying your shoes and releasing them you can now do that with a press of a button so I totally understand that these are not your everyday pair of shoes the average person is not going to go drop 700 bucks but I'm almost looking at these as a glimpse into the future the immediate thing that went into my mind is how awesome these would be at the airport the worst pair of shoes you can bring to the airport or a pair of old-school chucks holy crap those take forever take off but on a serious note you kind of almost have to look at these as a 1.0 of a completely new product which they are to an extent the hyperadapt 1.0 s getting nerdy for a second things like solid-state drives a couple years ago cost just as much as these shoes and then some fast forward to a couple years later and prices have dropped hundreds and hundreds of dollars where you can pick them up on the cheap so hopefully in a couple years these become more of the norm and less of a rarity and I know the initial reaction might be I don't need self-lacing shoes those are for lazy people but like I talked about before for a second let's just try to enjoy and appreciate cool tech these may not be the norm now and you may not need them but on the flip side of that maybe someone has arthritis in their hands and tying the shoes is an obstacle in a couple years when these come down and there are the normal prices that's going to help alleviate that now aside from that hopefully you guys enjoy the video like I said I am giving my para way and the bonus is I am NOT making you wait so that I'm actually teaming up with Marquez aka mkbhd where he is also given away his pair to ice the cake we are turning these into tech packages where you get the shoes our favorite backpack a smart phone of choice and a monster external battery bank for a chance to enter all you gotta do is be subscribed here on TL DS to make sure to do that if you have a yet and for the second chance at the second pair of hyperadapt and those phones head over to Marquez channel and video which is linked here I have enjoyed my really short time with the hyperadapt they are awesome but I thought it'd be cool to give away to you guys thank you for the support I love you and I will catch you guys later
