power laces, all right! (Back to the Future shoes)

[Admin]

In 2015, we don't need to tie our shoes:

Back to the Future 2 - Nike Air 2015 Kicks

And the reality is here a bit early:

Power Laces 2 PROTOTYPE DEMO

An older prototype to see how it worked:

Power Laces

Damn, pretty sure i saw this on instructables and or hackaday a while ago, good to see its gotten better without the bulky servo at the back!

Yeah, it's been put up on the Sparkfun blog too. Nice technology, albeit tying shoelaces yourself would prove to be much cheaper. The technology is great though and the concept is nice. A good company could handle this project very well indeed.

lol, is no cool tech video complete without a hot chick at the end?

I guess i need to start putting my girlfriend in my videos.

I think that Hot chick is the one who invented them.

You're right, and that's a funny name for a chick.

This one's an exception. I have just seen an awful lot of geeky DIY tech videos with random models in them. Recent example; I remember a bunch of RC airplane / copter videos with random hot girsl holding them.

Maybe I've been living in Thailand for too long but . . . are you sure she is actually a she?

Are you sure she is actually organic?

Also, I invoke Rule 30.

Go to google image search, TURN ON SAFE SEARCH, then type in 'ladyboy'. Those are all guys you see - no joke.

I rest my case.

ps - sorry, my fault for not staying on topic!

I now know why you say that...

Now for some on topic stuff, if it was in the soles, couldn't it be broken easily?

It may be on the sides of the soles so the full force of a person doesn't hit it directly.


P.S. Those shoes are just plain badass.
