Nike Adapt BB Self Lacing Shoes Launched:-How Do They Work?


There are sports shoes, and then there are the truly smart sports shoes. Nike has launched an officially available Self Lacing Shoes that feel like are from the future. The Adapt BB is more about smartening up the fit and customization aspects. The key aspect is that it connects with the Nike Adapt app for smartphones. This enables Nike Adapt, a platform which uses the advanced power-lacing system, to control the fit of the shoe.

How does the Nike Adapt BB Work?
When you slip your foot into the Nike Adapt BB shoe, there is a custom motor and a gear train that senses the tension needed by the foot and adjusts the fit accordingly to keep the foot snug. This is to prevent foot roll inside the shoe during movement, which can be uncomfortable as well as dangerous. Nike says that the tensile strength of the underfoot lacing mechanism can exert 32 pounds of force to secure the foot throughout a range of movement. Incidentally, this is the force rating of a standard parachute cord as well. The Adapt BB is using the FitAdapt tech extensively, and this is where you use your smartphone app to customize the fit of the shoe without having to manually do it or even touch the shoe.


Nike Adapt BB Features

Customization is another key feature of the Adapt BB shoe. On that front, there are two LEDs on the bottom of each shoe, and the lighting colors for these can also be customized using the Nike Adapt app. This version is designed especially keeping in mind needs of BasketBall Player to loosen or tighten up the Shoes easily during the game. 

Nike suggests that the batteries in the shoe, which power the motor, the gear train, connectivity with the phone and the LEDs, will last around 14 days. The company will ship the Adapt BB with the charging pad to charge these batteries up again. 

Nike Adapt BB Price & Availability

The Nike Adapt BB will be available from next month at a price of $350(roughly Rs.24,800). The price and availability for Indian Market is yet to be known.
