'Back To The Future' Inspired Self-Lacing Shoes Soon To Be Available

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) - Nike unveiled it's first power-lacing sneaker Wednesday at a media event in New York.

The futuristic shoes are called HyperAdapt 1.0, and have a very close resemblance to the high-top sneakers Marty McFly wore in "Back To The Future." The shoes are set to hit stores this upcoming Holiday season, and no determined price for the shoes have been released.

Nike's vice president of designed explained that the shoes don't use a traditional lacing system, but rather a battery powered series of pulleys that cinch the throat of the shoe. Once the wearer puts their foot inside the shoe, sensors at the bottom register their foot position, and than the shoe laces up.

The HyperAdapt 1.0 will run on a battery that will last for up to two weeks before needing to be charged.

Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was the first athlete to ever try on these shoes of the future, and it's safe to say his reaction says it all.

This year's Holiday season can't come soon enough, as shoe fanatics around the world will be lining up to buy themselves a pair.
