Sportswear brand Nike has released the laceless Nike GO FlyEase trainers, which can be put on and taken off without using your hands to replace "antiquated" shoes with laces.
Nike has eliminated the need for laces or other fasteners by building the shoe around a patent-pending bi-stable hinge within the sole.
Combined with a large rubber band – called a midsole tensioner by Nike – this hinge allows the shoe to be secure in both an open position for the foot to enter and a closed position for when the trainers are in use.
