A Quick History Of Adapt
In 2016, Nike reached the pinnacle of “power-lacing” with the release of the Nike Mag, the mythical sneaker that was dreamed in Back To The Future II. Since then, Nike launched the Adapt category of auto-lacing footwear, bringing the futuristic tech to basketball, training, and lifestyle with its family of Adapt footwear.
The first self-lacing sneaker available to the larger market was the HyperAdapt 1.0 in late 2016; with an MSRP of $720, this state-of-the-art sneaker came housed in premium packaging came with an AC adapter, charging pucks for the internal motor that ignites the automatic lacing system, and a handy quick-start manual so you’ll know how to use the brand new tech. From that point on, several different colorways of the HyperAdapt 1.0 were brought to market until its final documented release in late Spring 2018.
