These new sneakers slide on and off your feet, hands-free
Nike just unveiled new “easy-off, easy on” sneakers featuring a bi-stable hinge that enables the shoe to be secure in fully open and fully closed states.
A video posted on the sports apparel website shows just how easily the “Nike GO FlyEase” design allows the foot to slide into the sneaker in a single motion.
The video also demonstrates how one can use toes to remove the shoe from the other foot without using hands.
“The tensioner’s unique flexibility super-charges an action many might take for granted (kicking-off a shoe) and completely reimagines this movement as basis for accessible and empowering design,” Nike says.
According to the website, “Nike GO FlyEase” are initially available for select Nike Members, with broader consumer availability planned for later this year.
The produce has three color variations: White, Celestine Blue and Volt; Black, Dynamic Turqouise, and Hyper Crimson; and Black, Anthracite and Racer Blue. —Margaret Claire Layug/JCB, GMA News
