Auto-Lacing Shoes Appear on Kickstarter; Back to The Future Fans Rejoice
A small Canadian company is taking to crowd fundraising site Kickstarter to bring their new auto-lacing system to the world. Accurately named "Powerlace" Frederick Labbe & The Powerteam hope to raise $650,000 in order to produce the shoes, which will be released for $175 in the United States. Their first effort, the "P-Ones" use a non-electric system that uses the weight your body exerts on the shoes to tighten the laces. The moment you step into the shoes, your heel compresses and spins a concealed disc that is connected by wires to the laces, which in turn, tightens them.
