This is what the Nike smart running shoes that sell for 5,000 yuan look like after being disassembled

Last December, the world's first self-lacing sports shoe, Nike HyperAdapt Trainer 1.0, was officially launched.

The shoe is priced at $720 (about 4,938 yuan). The sensor is integrated in the heel of the sneaker. When the user puts on the HyperAdapt sneaker, the sensor in the heel will be activated and the sneaker will start to automatically adjust the tightness.

Like all smart devices, HyperAdapt Trainer 1.0 also relies on the built-in battery of the shoe to keep the system running. It takes 3 hours to fully charge each time, and then it can be used continuously for 2 weeks.

The foreign website MindTribe got a pair and disassembled them. Let's take a look at the secrets of this pair of high-tech fashion shoes:

This pair of shoes is covered with sensors, both on the heel and under the toes, so that when you put them on and start walking, the shoes can automatically detect and send a signal to the motor in the core part. The motor then tightens the shoelaces to achieve the effect of automatic lacing.

Then it also integrates a lithium battery and a wireless charging system. The lithium battery powers the chip, motor, and color-changing LED lights. It is also worth mentioning that this small motor can output a pulling force of about 30 pounds (13.5 kilograms), which is more than enough to tie shoelaces.
