Nike launched its FlyEase hands-free shoes, five years ago, and ever since it has become increasingly easier to get into your favorite sneakers. Unlike the hands-free shoes introduced by Nike, the other shoes always required you to use at least one hand with the help of which you could strap it up, tie, or zip the shoe. But this is different and as the name suggests, you do not have to use your hands at all for getting into the shoes.
New Nike Hands-free shoes- Features galore
The hands-free shoes Nike has made available for its customers have a bistable hinge in the midsole of the Nike GO FlyEase shoe. The shoe helps in the transition from the so-called ready or open position to the closed or set position.
All you must do is just step in and rest your feet on the footbed and when you want to take out your feet, to take it off, with one foot, step on the ledge of the shoe at the heel with the other foot and the hinge releases your let so that you can slide it out with ease.
The lead of the project design stated that the company wanted to design something new and that was different. The project design’s lead is Sarah Reinertsen, who also happens to be the first woman to complete the Ironman World Championships with a prosthetic leg. She is also a record holder in the Ironman Triathlon.
