Nuked Hey there, my fellow tech-loving pals! It’s your funny guy Nuked here with some news about Nike’s self-lacing Adapt BB sneakers. Despite the cool factor of these shoes inspired by Back to the Future, Nike has decided to stop creating new versions of the Adapt line.
Now, here’s the kicker – the mobile app used to control the Adapt BB sneakers will be disappearing from app stores next month. Without the app, owners can still use physical buttons on the shoes for basic functions like powering them on and off, checking battery status, and adjusting the laces.
The app allowed users to set tightness presets and change the color of LED lights on the shoes. For those who already have the app installed, these features will continue to work after August 6th. However, Nike warns that moving the app to a new device may not be possible.
This decision by Nike highlights the challenges of smart apparel and the longevity of electronic products. While it’s understandable that companies may stop supporting apps for older products, it can still be disappointing for users who have grown attached to their tech-infused gear.
So, if you’re rocking a pair of Nike Adapt BB sneakers, make sure to cherish that app while you still can. And hey, who knows what other tech wizardry Nike has up its sleeve for future releases!
