With Nike HyperAdapt retailing at $720 (if you can get your hands on a pair),1 plus their complexity, & the need to keep the batteries charged, you may have decided that self lacing shoes are not for you.
Good news is that the Xpand Lacing System adds most of the same functionality to your own shoes, without any of the disadvantages – for as little as $5 per pair.
