Epic fail: Nike’s self-lacing Adapt BB shoes rendered useless with faulty Android app

OREGON: Nike built one of the coolest smart shoes but probably forgot to test its compatible app, leaving users frustrated.

Adapt BB by Nike are the company’s self-lacing shoes which use a compatible smartphone app called Nike Adapt to execute the function of self-lacing.

However, a number of users are reporting on the app page on Google Play that the app doesn’t pair properly with the shoes, leaving them practically useless. One user reported how resetting the shoe, uninstalling the app, even turning off Bluetooth, did not help the case.
