The sci-fi trendy shoe version of AJ11 that automatically ties shoelaces, the future of trendy shoes has arrived

What is your favorite trendy shoe? Shoes such as AJ original series and YEEZY series are probably popular answers. So if you ask everyone what sci-fi shoes are in your mind? So most people’s answer will probably be Nike’s Adapt series. After all, shoes that can automatically tie their shoelaces using a mobile phone APP and buttons are science fiction enough for us ordinary consumers.

These two products, which seem to have different positioning and target groups, have been sublimated to a cross-generational level in the special 25th anniversary model of AJ11. Nike designers added the AJ11, a popular shoe model in the trendy shoe circle, with automatic shoelace technology exclusive to sci-fi shoes, creating a true pair of sci-fi trendy shoes.

AJ11 was originally an early shoe in the AJ series, and today it is already a classic trendy shoe that everyone is familiar with. What everyone doesn’t know is that its creator, Nike’s legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, actually had the idea of ??not having to tie shoelaces for a long time. It was just that it couldn't be realized due to the limitations of technology in that era. Therefore, this pair of Air Jordan 11 Adapt, which can automatically tie shoelaces, can also be said to have fulfilled the long-cherished wish of this pair of AJ11 shoes.

The automatic shoelace design applied by the designer to the AJ11 Adapt this time can be said to be far superior to any previous Adapt series shoes. After all, friends who know something about this series will probably remember this slightly bulky appearance deeply. Therefore, no matter how sci-fi this series is, its popularity will always be limited. But AJ11 Adapt uses design to make up for this problem very well.

Looking at the overall design of this pair of AJ11, it can be said that the body shape is very similar to the ordinary AJ11. This consistency in body shape can well retain the trendy shoe attributes of this shoe. This largely avoids the embarrassment that the sci-fi feel may overwhelm the focus, retains the huge advantages of the overall shape design of AJ11, and at the same time makes it easier to win the favor of fashionable people.

In addition, the detailed design of the entire pair of shoes is trying to give this pair of shoes a sci-fi feel that belongs to the Adapt series. The first is this series of iconic sole control buttons, which are designed in conspicuous bright orange. This forms a sharp contrast with the pure white main tone of the shoe body, further highlighting the presence of technology.

Moreover, the original iconic leather and patent leather material combination of this series has been replaced by the designer with a more futuristic combination of cicada wing material and patent leather. This not only pays tribute to the classics of the past, but also injects a sense of science fiction trend in the new era into it. There are also ultra-thin shoelaces and orange letter string design on the tongue, which further highlights this feeling.

In this era, the pursuit of individual trends and high-tech has long become the mainstream of the mass consumer market. This feature is particularly obvious when everyone buys shoes. In the eyes of consumers, AJ11 can definitely be ranked among the top brands, which means that it can represent the trendy shoes of this era to a considerable extent.

But tracing back to its roots, it is a pair of classic old shoes that were born 25 years ago. It actually runs counter to the rapid development of technology. If we just blindly pursue classics, then the classic trendy shoes represented by it will eventually be eliminated by the trendy shoe circle. This is something that trendy shoe lovers like me don’t want to see, and it’s also something that Nike doesn’t want to see.

So Nike once again relied on the imagination of its designers to create this pair of Air Jordan 11 Adapt. It relies on mature automatic shoelace technology and the trendy appearance design of AJ11, which to a large extent conforms to everyone's imagination of sci-fi trendy shoes. And this is also announcing to us that the future of trendy shoes has arrived.
