Jovani Hernandez Although some of the most iconic technological advancements depicted in the “Back to the Future” series have yet to become reality, one of them has thanks to NIKE, Inc.: self-lacing footwear. And while not widely-adapted, the “power-lacing” equivalent has made strides because of models like the Nike Adapt Auto Max, which is slated to launch in a triple-black colorway soon.
Since launching on Air Max Day 2020, the silhouette has appeared in ensembles featuring eye-catching “Infrared,” orange and “Volt.” Its latest proposition forgoes any vibrant tone, but still makes a statement with both its versatile color palette and future-forward design. Swoosh and “air” branding throughout the pair indulge in a glossy finish, while the heel structure and its connected sole unit boast a matte aesthetic. Buttons to loosen and tighten the Nike Air Max-descendant grace the lateral midsole, and glow in a rich green hue when activated. As evidenced by its tread pattern, this silhouette isn’t for performance-sport, unlike its Adapt BB 2.0 counterpart, but it equally furthers the Swoosh’s plans to create a world of auto-lacing footwear.
Enjoy official images of this Adapt Auto Max here below, and expect pairs to hit Nike SNKRS soon for $400 USD.
Elsewhere under the Swoosh umbrella, the Blazer Mid ’77 has recently emerged in a handful of multi-colored arrangements.
