A sneaker or a computer? These are the futuristic Nike Adapt Auto Max

The legendary and iconic Nike Air Mag are known to almost everyone. A few years ago, they attracted attention with their futuristic design and self-tying system. Unfortunately, due to their highly limited numbers, you are unlikely to find a pair for any less than $50 000. Fortunately, the Adapt Auto Max are coming – much more affordable sneakers, boasting a number of functions that will amaze you, even if you’re not a die-hard sneaker fan.

There’s only a few sneakers, which can be called “future-ready”. This futuristic concept combining elements of the Nike Air Max 90 first saw the light of day at the start of last year, when the Nike brand first presented its vision of the form of contemporary sneakers for the decades to come.

“Nike Adapt is our ultimate piece that combines performance and connectivity.” said Brandon Burroughs, Nike’s global head of innovation. “For the first time ever, we can provide the Air Max platform with dynamic comfort and protection, powered by a digital system which allows the shoe to be smarter and improve over time. By combining Nike Adapt with our iconic Air Max platform we bring users the future, combining a perfect fit and amazing experience in one incredible sneaker.

TIE YOUR SHOES WITH YOUR PHONE

The Nike Adapt Auto Max fastens using the well-known + and – buttons. However, this fundamental tweak is far from the only thing that earns this shoe its status of a shoe of the future. The innovation comes in the form of voice control, using Siri or Google Voice. This option is obviously used to loosen or tighten the smart luggage system. Additionally, you can also control this with an Apple Watch.

In addition to tightening or loosening, you can also change the colour scheme of your Nike Auto Adapt Max. Nike has prepared a total of 13 custom colour schemes, which you can use in both a static and dynamic pulsating mode. All this can be controlled using an app that you can find in app stores under the name Nike Adapt.

DON’T TELL ME, TELL YOUR SHOE

Right now you might be thinking that’s all great, but constantly trying to set the optimal tightness of the binding sounds frustrating. Well it doesn’t have to be. Nike Adapt allows you to set and save two configurations for the perfect fit. Having two configurations allows you to quickly switch between when you need to keep your shoe nice and tight, during physical activity for example, and when you want your shoe looser for a more comfortable fit.

No matter what the happy owner does in his shoes, at the end of the day it’ll be necessary to charge the shoes. For this purpose, a wireless charging docking station is included in the package, and is the cherry on the cake of these most futuristic sneakers on Footshop.
