- Hey you guys, Jonathan here,
and I am really really excited
for what is inside this box.
The Nike hyperadapt 1.0 blends tech with shoes.
Got a little of that Back to the Future action
going on with something you could
actually wear and I gotta say,
this may be one of the biggest
boxes I've ever opened.
So, undoubtedly, I would assume
we got some box-ception going on.
Within this brown box is probably a cooler box.
So wrap pop!
Oooh.
Ever had just like a box
pop like Dr. Fuji impactful impaction.
Back to its flap one.
Flap two.
Man, this is the real deal
- [Man] Aaaaugh!
- I have never seen a shoebox this big.
That is a fact.
And I'm willing to bet, popping this open
is gonna be mighty sweet.
Holy crap!
- You are creepy as sh
- So here is the box.
We're gonna slide it open.
Is it a pop or a slide?
- Whoo. Dang that's clean.
Something good is on the other side of this box.
And we're about to experience it.
Holy moly!
So these are actually the white on white,
which are clean!
Oh, that smells like fresh shoes.
The good news with these, though
is unlike with Nike Mags where you could not
purchase them, you only could obtain them
through a raffle, these you can actually pick up and buy.
The bad news is they're extremely limited
and they're also a little on the pricey side
clocking in at just over 700 bucks.
Now with that, I am very fortunate
and thankful to get to check these out early
but with the holidays and everything going on
I thought it would be a cooler idea
to give my pair away to you guys.
I wouldn't smash that light button
if you were excited for that.
Taking a look at everything else
that's inside the box, it is pretty simple.
We have the second shoe, this being the right.
This being the left.
Smells like you just walked into Foot Locker.
- Okay, I'm going to the mall and going upstairs
probably on the second floor.
Yeah!
- The other immediate thing that stands out
to me with these is how light they are
because it's not something you may
normally expect from picking these up.
You might think because they're self-lacing shoes
there's a lot of heavy tech inside,
but they're actually really light.
The other really interesting thing
that stands out is the laces.
They got this really soft mesh thing going on
but they disappear into the shoe,
so you are not gonna see no bunny ears.
Also, that light is freaking awesome.
So with this that's actually gonna be
your battery indicator.
What I really like about these though
is the button placement because
at first glance, you would have
no idea they're there.
There are two diamonds that kinda
blend into the design but those actually control
how you tighten them and how you loosen them.
So up top right here on this diamond
(whining)
it's gonna tighten things up and the one below that
(whining)
loosens everything.
Obviously, the effect is gonna be
more drastic on your shoes so with that
I think it is time to try them on.
Now, normally if I said I was gonna
hop up on this table and try these shoes on,
that might sound like a strange
and potentially bad idea, but if you
flash back to last year, totally normal.
Ho, man these are comfortable.
(whining)
damn, these are way cooler than the $20 LED shoes.
Now because there is tech inside these shoes,
you will need to charge them,
but Nike includes a pretty slick
USB charging solution that attaches magnetically.
For a full charge it should take
around two hours, but the good news is
that charge will easily last you
two week and probably more.
On top of that, that sweet LED light
that we were looking at earlier
will also let you know how your battery is doing,
so right now that it's in blue,
things are nice and healthy, but
if the battery were to drop it would then
change to yellow and finally, red.
Like I mentioned, these are extremely comfortable,
which you would hope for for the price,
but I think the more important thing is
they feel like normal shoes and
nothing is getting in the way.
Like the hyperadapt name implies,
the idea with this is to be able
to change things and to adapt on the fly.
So maybe you're running and you wanted your shoes
just a little bit tighter for that extra bit of support.
Instead of untying your shoes and
relacing them, you can now do that
with a press of a button.
(grunts)
Ahhh.
So, I totally understand that these
are not your everyday pair of shoes.
The average person is not gonna go drop
700 bucks, but I'm almost looking at these
as a glimpse into the future.
The immediate thing that went into my mind
is how awesome these would be at the airport.
The worst pair of shoes you could bring
to the airport are a pair of old school chucks.
Holy crap, those take forever to take off.
But on the serious side, you almost
have to look at these as a 1.0,
the completely new product, which they are
to an extent, the hyperadapt 1.0's.
Getting nerdy for a second, things like
solid stage arrived a couple years ago
cost just as much as these shoes
and then some.
Fast forward to a couple years later.
Prices have dropped hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
We can pick them up on the cheap.
So, hopefully in a couple of years,
these become more of the norm and less
of a rarity and I know the initial reaction
might be I don't need self-lacing shoes.
Those are for lazy people.
But like I talked about before,
for a second let's just try and enjoy
and appreciate cool technology.
These may not be the norm now,
and you may not need them, but on the flip side
of that, maybe someone has arthritis
in their hands, and tying their shoes is an obstacle.
In a couple of years when these come down,
and they're the normal prices,
that's gonna help alleviate that.
Now, aside from that, hopefully,
you guys enjoyed the video.
Like I said, I'm giving my pair away
and the bonus is, I am not making you wait for that.
I'm actually teaming up with Marques,
AKA MKBHD, where he is also giving away his pair.
Ties to keg, we are turning these into tech packages
where you get the shoes, our favorite backpack,
a smart phone of choice and a monster
external battery bank.
For a chance to enter, all you gotta do
is be subscribed here on TLD, so make sure
to do that if you haven't yet,
and for the second chance at the
second pair of hyperadapts and those phones,
head over to Marques' channel
and video which is linked here.
I have enjoyed my really short time with the adapt.
They are awesome, but I thought it would be cool
to give 'em away to you guys.
Thank you for the support.
I love you and I will catch you guys later.
