Yup, you heard right. Nike is patenting self-lacing shoes similarly to Michael J. Fox's character, Marty McFly, in Back To The Future 2.
"The automatic lacing system provides a set of straps that can be automatically opened and closed to switch between a loosened and tightened position of the upper. The article further includes an automatic ankle cinching system that is configured to automatically adjust an ankle portion of the upper."
There's no definite release date for when this shoe will be released, but it's in the works. I wouldn't doubt people lining up for these shoes the day it comes out (if they have some cute ones, I would consider buying me a pair). It seems as if Back To The Future 2 really IS what our future will turn out to be... One invention at a time. o.O
