Just saw these... self lacing, adjustable by app the world has gone nuts. The next generation will adjust by themselves during the run apparently.

At £400 more than their dearest running shoes I think I’ll stick to tying my own laces.

You say that but I lost at least 30 seconds in my park run time because of redoing my laces... 😉 also someone once mentioned shoes with gps, hope these have that and music that adapts to your running pace!

😂😂😂

No music... but they have a row of LEDs in the back so everyone can tell you have more money than brains!

Great idea ! There’s nothing like showing the muggers exactly where in the bushes you’re hiding . . . Or maybe you’re only supposed to wear them on your treadmill ?

The underside has a big light up bit... maybe that can be used to blind them?

Now that’s well thought out. Dazzle them with one foot while hopping rapidly to safety on the other ! I’m sure James May designed lighting-up shoes on ManLab. If he claimed the patent, we could be heading for a massive legal battle. This one could run and run (sorry 😂)

I’ll take a punt on Nike running out of money long after Mr May 😂

Sad but true. But it’s the principle that counts 😄

I love shoes with LEDs. I would have bought some years ago if they did adult sizes (but I did used to be a tour guide in a show cave).

Could be handy there. I guess they’ll be seen in the dark well

At that price, I agree with Couchpotato2 that you should be able to get GPS, your favourite music and the C25K app.

By the way UnfitNoMore what excersise is best for runners, sit ups or press ups?

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply to AlMorr

For this runner, press-ups, as I can’t do sit-ups! Actually I’ve read a few articles that don’t rate the sit-up for anything, and argue that crunches are more effective. I’d go press-ups as they work the core stability rather than core strength, and some strength in the arms helps. I don’t tend to do many though... I spend more time planking and in a press-up low hold rather than reps.

I do like the look - four hundred quid puts it on a par of a night with Mam'zelle Lorraine in the Boom Boom Tavern, Marseille....

And I just couldn't accept her money...

I don’t believe in rushing to buy the newest technology- I’ll have to just make myself wait for the next generation self adjusting ones........😂

Nah. Don’t like the bendy-up toes. The rocking horse gait would ruin my pace. 🙄😂

Not sure the first release is a runner... they may release those for another couple of hundred soon 😂

How much???!!?!

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply to Pianism

£620... I did see a limited drop pair for $2500 too 😂

No chance for me... Mrs UNM has ruled on that one in no uncertain terms... but she hasn’t ruled out 3 pairs of these Nike Vaporfly 4% Flyknit... they’re only £210. Of course she hasn’t ruled them out because she doesn’t know about them 😂

Eek!

UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply to Pianism

I think it would be cheaper to pay someone to tie my shoes anyways... minimum wage for 20 seconds a time... I’d get a fair few runs for a tenner 😂

Please tell that this an escaped April Fool?

Because that is insane!

Though if they want to make a trail version that would be great! No more shoes lost to the mud 😏
