win. and yes, they do auto-lace.

Damn I can't believe they showed these in a video in May.

They look hot. Autolacing confirmed.

ARGH!

To anyone younger than 20 (anyone older has no excuse), these are movies you *have to* watch NOW (the weekend has 48 hours, enough time to catch up):

- Star Wars old trilogy
- Indiana Jones trilogy
- Back to the Future trilogy
- Alien trilogy (I liked the 4th one, too)
- GhostBusters 1 & 2

Come back when you´re finshed. Thx.

Fixed, I'm sure there are other great movies to add.

No power laces would be bullshit and kill all hype.

See Dreams-Visions post #643.

According to this Twitter http://twitter.com/#!/highsnobiety/status/111883200153911296 Who I am assuming is at this event, no power laces.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Ghostbusters 2 was stupid.

 

[lightless_shado]

Posted?

Good luck getting one. At least it is going to a good cause.

No power laces...so why bother?

shame about the power laces, but if they're being auctioned off im limited supply i'm never ever going to get to own these anyway.

+1

I don't see how you could justify getting these shoes without the power laces. No power laces takes away from BTTF affect of the shoes. Am I off here?

they have power laces.

why are people saying there are no power laces? watch the youtube video ( see post 643).

 

[Septimius]

From the picture above, they don't even have laces, just elastic bands. Hype-train derail :<

Because that's not the same shoe.

 

[darkressurection]

So judging by the EA video, at some point these probably DID have power laces. I wonder if they just couldn't get them working within their timetable.

I saw that vid too but I can't help but think that Nike may have panicked at the last minute and decided against it (which would not have been surprising at all).

 

[killer_clank]

fuck sake. why would you make these with no power lace? goddam.

I was just thinking. What if power-laces are included in a ~2015 release? It would mean BTTF was right in its predictions! Mindfuck!

 

[freenudemacusers]

So these are basically la lights

 

[Triple Oceans]

LOL!

At least they are rechargable LA Lights.

okay well maybe they dont have power laces, but i'm never going to own these anyway ;/

 

[darkressurection]

Hopefully some form of these come out for regular people, because I would probably still buy a pair.

aw hell. I might sit these out, then.


:-(

 

[Ozone]

If they don't actually have power laces, all my hype for this is immediately gone.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

WTF IS A POWER LACES? SORRY FOR THE CAPS

 

[JCreasy]

@ 12:40.

win. and yes, they do auto-lace.

WHAT WHAT WHHHAT!

REAL POWER LACESS!!!

OK now I'm depresssseed as helll that I won't be able to own a pair. The possibility of no power laces made that tolerable.

But real power laces . . . oh man, God help me

EDIT: Just saw the twitter post. Ok, whew, nevermind then.

 

[Hot Coldman]

FUCK THIS SHIT. Where's the table flipping emote when you need it

 

[Dreams-Visions]

it doesn't even matter. this won't have them.

[Captain Blood]

Well this is depressing.
I don't need light up shoes....
What I need is a future where I don't ever have to tie a shoelace again!!!!

Aww fuck.

I'll wait until

1) they power lace.
2) they're not super limited and costing probably $1000+ on ebay

As much as I'd love to donate to the MJF foundation, there's no way I can outbid the sneaker heads.

 

[Veidt]

i swear to god, they could have done power laces in this day and age. we have the tech. motherfuck.

 

[darkressurection]

See here.

Man that GIF only makes me more sad, (not that I had a shot at getting a pair of these anyway.)

Expect to never own a pair then...

 

[Complex Shadow]

now i am angry. >=[

 

[MisterHero]

why do things that everyone can appreciate have to be swag for rich nerds

 

[Hot Coldman]

i swear to god, they could have done power laces in this day and age. we have the tech. motherfuck.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Isn't this like the second or third time Nike has released the BTTF shoes without power laces?

 

[JCreasy]

I bet most of the people that end up buying these don't give a shit about BttF and care more about the fact that they are super rare sneakers.

 

[Johnlenham]

wont even be that just rich assholes with stupid amounts of money!

 

[rezuth]

Sure but it's most likely pretty hard to make it cheap, small, powerful and easy to manufacture.

 

[Dai101]

I'm so mad i need to kick a magazine rack

 

[Subitai]

Sort of a letdown, but they have a few years to figure this out.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

People were expecting power laces? How would this be possible to add in shoes, make cheap, and make small enough to not be heavy/keep working for years and years?
