It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.

why does it need an app? Why not just have a button on the shoe that pulls the laces into their chambers and forget about connecting it to your phone?
It could have a button.
But a button wouldnt give them all the permissions on your phone to harvest your data for sale and exploitation.
Because once their app is installed on your phone, they can send you push notification ads for their next great shoes.
It does. The only thing you can’t do is change the lighting color I think
having it with any ability to connect to your phone at all is dumb. Why does everything have to be connected to everything else all the time to work? Oh right…surveillance from advertising companies
I just bought a breathalyzer so I can know my BAC when out having a couple at happy hour and be safe to drive home. It works standalone because it has a button and screen, but all over the place it’s like “it has an app!!! It can connect to your phone!!!” who the fuck would ever want to do that?
I ain’t too worried, I’m not buying any light up shoes especially from Nike anytime after I die
