for those of you who came here for foot picks unfortunately this isn't the video
for that but this video is for unboxing
these Nike adapt Auto Air Max shoes
let's get started so ever since I was little I've always wanted those
Sketchers light up light up Sketchers
and ever since then cuz I never managed to get my hand on a pair I've been
trying to find the perfect comparison for those but in a more mature version
per se so I think I found it let's get
these out of the way Nike launched a version of these in 2011 that were a
direct replica of the Back to the Future self-lacing shoes after those kind of
took off Nike decided to implement the same kind of automatic lacing mechanisms
into shoes that are more modern these are thick boys damn thick with like six
C's like we have a manual back in
November when these first launched these shoes reach retailed for $400 USD we
managed to get our hands on this pair for $ 370 but they were secondhand and
not from Nike directly they go for about 600 bucks Canadian it's like stocks but
shoe stocks this little guy is apparently like the mascot look at him
he's so cute can sit with my
dinosaurs so this is
stuck and of course you might be wondering what this is these shoes
contain a micro electromechanical system which allow the laces themselves to
tighten up which I will show later on in the video like the movie The Future yes
just like the movie I will say if we could have gotten our hands on the Back
to the Future ones that would have been super cool but because of their
Nostalgia Factor they are very very difficult to come by and are very
expensive when they do come available inside the shoes contain a cortex M4
processor 8 MB of flash memory a capacitive touch controller an
accelerometer and a gyroscope and a DC gear
motor it seems as though the charging cable is supposed to come in this box
but since these are secondhand I don't expect them to package everything
accordingly goodbye so since these shoes
do contain a battery they need to be charged and Nike has figured out a
wireless charging system that works awesome I guess or we'll find out it's a
super Sleek design I feel as though you could really just leave this by the door
and it wouldn't look tacky or cheesy and your shoes look really cool on top of it
it's kind of like a display like a a platform so while I'm discussing the
battery I will mention that Nike claims that these shoes should last 12 to 14
days depending on how many times you lace and unlace the shoes takes about 24
hours for them to fully recharge which means you don't have to worry about
taking these shoes on vacation and having them die on you right away away
Nike has also implemented a system where when your battery is dying there are
these lights on the side that will change to let you know that your shoes
do need to be recharged what was that they made a
noise feel like I'm in a Sci-Fi movie ooh okay so here's a feature that I
noticed right off the bat the lights on the side they're glowing so Nike says
when the light or the LEDs inside are
green that means that they are fully charged and ready to go I guess the next
step is to connect them to my phone so
let's get into that all you have to do is download the app and sign into your
Nike account or make one if you don't already have one luckily I buy shoes
quite frequently so I have a Nike account already so before I connect and
turn on these shoes let me turn you on to our sponsor grammarly save time

minute and it's maybe I'll look at the manual and make sure I'm not doing
anything wrong but you you would think they would instruct you exactly what
you're supposed to do in the
app who needs to see the shoes when they can see the warranty oh yeah no this is
just the safety and Regulatory maybe I'll just try again my Bluetooth is on
Earl Wright would like to pair with your iPhone is that these shoes what do I do
here should I just click pair I mean it could also just be a random
person uh
yellow connection error I do want to mention that I wouldn't necessarily
consider myself a sneaker head per se but I do enjoy a nice comfortable
good-looking pair of shoes and while I do own a pair of harachi a pair of nmds
these are like nothing I've ever seen before shoe detected oh my gosh yes
press either light on the shoe to confirm Bonk Bonk it's working they are
quite chunky but chunky sneakers have been in style lately maybe I use banana
for scale it's about the thickness of the thickest
part of your banana for scale if you're wondering you're all set woohoo with the
app you set up your custom tightness
that way when you do put your shoes on they can adjust directly to the
tightness that you've set them to that's what we're doing right now your shoes
will auto adjust to find your move fit time to put them on here I get a good
shout on my coach booties they're probably as expensive as these bad boys
right here stupid train oh my
gosh this is such a weird feeling they're tightening so the app is showing
me uh I have a left shoe and a right shoe and it says to slide so I'm going
to do that my mind is blown this feels crazy do I get to keep them after so
even with the train and the lawn mower in the background I can still hear the
shoes which means inside they're probably quite
loud yeah that's quite loud but you know what I feel like the technology just
makes it worthless regardless of how loud they are so now I've adjusted them
to a tightness that feels comfortable and I'm now going to save on my phone
this is move mode apparently
and then you can have a comfort mode which is a bit looser for you know just
walking around the house if you wear shoes in your house or I don't know
should I go for a walk they actually feel really
comfortable how do they look do they look
good comfort factor I'd say is very very
very reasonable but I mean for $400 shoes I would hope so they do look thick
from like this perspective but that's part of the fun right while I was
outside I had some thoughts initially I was a little put off by the idea of
having self-lacing shoes I wasn't necessarily sure who exactly these were
for but after using them and you know
having a feel or getting a feel for myself I've actually realized that these
can be quite convenient especially for people who may not be able to lace their
shoes on their own with that said it is still difficult to take the shoes off
when they are laced and if you don't have access to your phone or the app at
the time that you need to take them off I could see that becoming an inconvenience luckily they do have
buttons on the side of each shoe which you can use to manually adjust the
tightness however at this point it requires almost as much effort as tying
a regular pair of shoes while the app itself is welld designed from what I can
tell once I had my shoes laced and ready to go I got a notification from the app
asking to use my data and while they don't use the data in the app itself
instead they use your data to help develop future products while I'm
uncertain I actually want to share my data with Nike let's just hope one day
Nike can add a pedometer or something to the app to make these shoes worth the
money another thing I noticed is the weight of these shoes is quite
substantial to shoes that I've bought in the past while they do have a thick Sole
and a lot of tech on the inside I would love to weigh them and see how they
compare to a pair of Nike shoes that I already own I've got two two thick boys
here already by holding them I can definitely tell these are probably
almost twice the weight I'll weigh these ones first so these are the Nike crater
impact shoes made from recycled materials so these are 9.5 Oz now let's
see how they compare to the Nike Auto
Maxes a whopping 1 lb and 1 oz I feel as
though walking around in these all day is not going to be an enjoyable
experience another unfortunate thing that happened was while I was walking
around with these shoes the left shoe actually disconnected from the Bluetooth
and wouldn't connect until I came back inside I can't imagine how that would go
if you're walking around downtown and need to loosen your shoes or take them
off for like I don't know a yoga session or something now here's a feature that
we haven't mentioned yet these shoes have RGB LEDs which means the buttons
right here you can change the color of them now like I mentioned with my Apple
watch video I love matching products to my outfits let's see what kind of
options we have for these since I'm wearing white I've changed it to a white
glow I'll change to Orange LTT orange
cool oh you can do dual color display I
have to update the firmware in my shoes in order to activate dual colors you can
also change the effect yes fancy
ultimately these shoes are really just a big Flex while these shoes don't
necessarily offer anything other than self-lacing and being able to change the
colored lights they could potentially be useful for somebody with a disability
are they worth $400 not necessarily but if you love
Nike and really want a pair of these
awesome self-lacing shoes I'd recommend them I'm probably going to take these
ones no these are mine now bye if you
want to watch another one of my fashionable videos go watch my Apple
watch 7 video and comment below what you would want to see these shoes do
