Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.
This Wednesday, he is interested in an invention in terms of shoes, sneakers without laces and without scratchs that slip on by themselves.
The innovation of the day concerns both shoes and comfort.
There are now sneakers that can be put on, attached and taken off while standing, without having to bend down.
All you have to do is slip your foot inside like a slipper.
A lot of people do this already, they step on the heel with the other foot to take them off.
And they force on the back to put them on.
It works !
But those who have tried know that it ends up damaging and crushing the back of the shoe.
We end up with mules.
Nike has just developed a trainer designed expressly to put on and take off in this way.
When walking on the heel with the other foot, the sole will bend slightly.
This will spread the opening of the shoe to be able to slide his foot easily.
Finally, when his foot presses down, the sole will fall back flat and tighten the shoe.
We don't crush anything.
We do not force.
It is very clever.
Is the foot well supported?
Can we play sports with it?
They are real sports sneakers.
Visually, it feels like you're dealing with ordinary sneakers.
What changes is just the way to put them on.
They are called the GO FlyEase.
They don't just target the lazy.
It's also for anyone who has back problems and has trouble bending down to put on their shoes or tie their laces.
Which opens up a lot of perspectives.
How much does it cost ?
It's quite expensive, between 110 and 120 euros, but not overpriced.
Marketing requires, they will first be offered in limited edition mid-February before a global availability this summer.
It will still be necessary to validate the reliability of the mechanism and its longevity.
But after the hook and loop fasteners and the elastics, we may have found a new way to tie your shoes without hands.
