The HyperAdapt BB replaces traditional laces with an intricate series of cables, controlled by slide-touch bars on a syncing phone app or two toggle buttons on the side of the shoe. With power coming from a small motor in the shoe, the cables engulf the foot, providing varying degrees of support and giving players such as Tatum an exact, on-demand fit every time. The settings can be stored, much like an automatic car seat, returning to the same locked-in preference in an instant.

"I didn't know what to expect," Tatum said. "Hearing about a shoe with all this technology and no laces, I didn't know what it was going to look like. It really surprised me. It looked a lot better than I thought it would, and it felt great -- that was most important."

I'd pay to see Tatum arrive to the arena in a delorean and get on a hoverboard somehow

I flew from Seattle to Boston this Summer so I could attend Fan Expo Boston and finally get Michael J Fox's autograph on my BTTF2 Poster:



I had already gotten all the other signatures when they visited Seattle, but that was the first time in decades the core 4 (sans Crispin Glover) had come together for a reunion.

Do the self-tying shoes come with a knife for when they go haywire and start cutting off circulation to your feet?    :D
