Powerlace: Shoes that tie themselves?

Yeah, you read right. Shoes that tie themselves. No not Velcro cop outs. The real deal, only seen in movies like Back to the Future. You can now be Marty Mcfly and have your runners lace themselves without you breaking your back.

Bet you are asking the question we asked once we saw them. How does it work? It is really a simple answer but the technology behind it took years to perfect. If anyone has had the discipline to attain it, it is the team behind Powerlace. The secret sauce is simply putting your feet into the shoe itself. The motion of putting on the shoe actually initiates the laces to tighten based upon your body weight. Without any batteries wires or trickery.

You can get a pair of these before they hit the market on Kickstarter, as they are working diligently to get them on the market before big fish in the sea have a chance to mass produce them.

If you’ve got $175 lying around and have any interest in being one of the first to have a pair. Get them here
