For the first time, smart shoes are adapted to the state of the foot

Nike has launched a new self adjusting shoe that can be adjusted to the size of the foot and can be controlled with the help of a smartphone.

This shoe is the latest version of Future Shoes and his idea first appeared in the second part of the movie "Back to the Future" produced in 1989, and Nike made it a reality and announced in 2016, has announced the BBC Thursday.

The company launched the new version of Nike Adapt, sold for about $ 350 and will not require a button to activate the ligaments.

The announcement of the new Smart Shoe was broadcast live on the "Twitch" platform.

"We chose basketball as Nike's first sport, because of the particular requirements of the players in footwear," said Eric Avar, director of innovation at Nike.

"During the basketball game, players' positions and tendencies change, so it is necessary to quickly change the position of the shoe by removing the ligament, to relieve the foot, to increase blood flow, then tighten it to keep playing, will improve the players' experience. "

Footwear users can adjust and control their foot position by applying a smartphone with the appropriate preferences. They can enter special and varied settings adapted to each moment of the match, remove the shoe and relieve the pressure exerted on the foot during rest and out of the stadium, then put it back to the previous position at the entrance.

When players put their feet in the shoe, it will work automatically, through special sensors, to tighten the shoe around the foot and to reduce it by means of a special motor (small).

The app will also store the data, and athletes can share this data with Nike. The new shoe should be on the market in February.
