The first self-lacing Jordans are here
Posted on by Monica Reed
Remember that scene in Back to the Future 2, when Marty puts on those futuristic, self lacing shoes? Here’s a reminder of the scene…
The Jordan Brand has officially announced its first ever self-lacing sneaker … and they look like they’d get Marty McFly’s approval.
Dubbed the Air Jordan 11 Adapt, the sneakers are the first of Michael Jordan‘s iconic signature line to use Nike’s electronically-controlled lacing technology … and will mark the 25th anniversary of the original kicks released in 1995.
Remember, how people lost their minds when the Swoosh introduced the Nike MAG back in 2016 — ya know, the “Back to the Future” kicks — which also featured the Adapt tech.
Self-lacing tech has shown up before on other shoes in recent years, it marks the first time it will appear on an Air Jordan shoe.
So, how do these things work?? The kicks are controlled by an app that will help customize the comfort … as well as the color of the button on the side of the sneaks.
Two new 11s for the end of the year that celebrate the silhouette's 25th anniversary 👀
The Air Jordan 11 "Jubilee" drops on December 12th and the Air Jordan 11 "Adapt" on December 30th 🔥
The kicks are set to be released next month, just in time for Christmas! People say the shoes come with a $500 price tag.
Maybe Santa can put a pair in his bag for you!
