probably the most high-tech shoes on planet earth new adapt bebe from Nike they're not even officially out yet I've seen a couple videos from the Nike event this is an area where there hasn't been a lot of Technology with the exception of the couple of previous versions of the adapt series the self-lacing shoes that Nike has put out in the past there's an app that goes with it technology meets sneakers and finally in fashion robust enough to be used by professionals suggested retail price on the tag there are 350 sneaker heads are paying 350 for sneakers that do a lot less than this ok so there we go ok box in a box situation so as I understand it you can either lace these up with the electronic buttons right on the side of the sneaker or you can do so through the app the app is not out yet officially so I'll be using the sneaker to tighten these up look at that Wow mmm all wrapped up and whatnot whoa high tech city now the thing you can probably tell right away you can't see any laces so there's actually a wire system in here some people like that some people not as much even with the motor in here these things still feel like a typical basketball shoe and that's what they're targeted at the nike adapt charger 1.0 that's one downside of having self-lacing sneakers is I mean they got to get some juice in there but wireless charging is kind of convenient I guess you just put this down and the sneakers just drop on and that's it they charge it's a little mat we have a charge brick and a USB cable actually type-c connector as well so the LED lights on the side will change their color depending upon your charge level though even if these things do run out of battery life when you have them on they will always keep enough battery in them to at least loosen up so you can get your foot out so it's always like a reserve battery power in there apparently you can get like 2 weeks of battery life lacing unlacing and so on okay so you power a mom by pressing and holding any button on the side of the shoe for one second and then you place the shoe flat on the ground slide your foot inside the shoe will automatically tighten to a comfortable pre-programmed fit you can adjust your fit by tapping the front button this guy here to tighten or the back button to loosen push and hold both buttons simultaneously for two seconds in order to save your fit when you do install the nike adapt app when it's fully available you could have like a basketball fit where you have it really tight and then you could have a casual fit saved as well where you could toggle between the two quickly or some people like to have their laces untied when they're just I don't know heading out to brunch and whatnot oh that was the noise of the motor listen to this here we go you can kind of see that see that Jack so the mesh is still extended out but even the interior of the shoe has tightened quite a bit the heel came in kind of locking the foot in as well what do you say boy should I try them on why not that's already a pretty snug fit to be clear this is a very snug fit right out of the gate just just getting them on but let's go ahead and tighten them a bit here we go oh baby oh my goodness gracious and now my foot is being gripped like substantially a lot more support than I expected to have I mean it's like having a very tight tighten shoe been up here I'm kind of into these whether or not the look is for you I guess that depends on your taste it's meant to look futuristic and I think that it does there's an R on the right foot and an L on the left foot if you tighten them up via the app there's two sliders one for the left foot one for the right foot I'm glad obviously the DS are not strictly a gimmick that said there are 350 bucks everything in the future is supposed to be electrified or automated in some sense even your sneakers it's the adapt BB and I think this is the first unboxing on the Internet so how about that what you say jack
