Auto-lacing sneakers hit Kickstarter

It was only a matter of time before someone truly tackled the age-old task of creating those “Back to the Future” power-lacing shoes.

Nike announced it would be auctioning off 1,500 pairs of the shoes back in 2011. But while they were a visual replica of the shoes found in “Back to the Future II,” they didn’t have the super-cool power laces.

Soon, however, you might be able to actually buy auto-lacing shoes — well, almost. A new Kickstarter project that aims to bring you what the founders call "Powerlace Advanced Auto-Lacing Shoe Technology"
