Nike Kyrie 3 “Black Ice” Set To Release On December 26th December 21st, 2016 by John Kim Kyrie Irving isn’t the average 24-year-old dude. The more obvious credentials to review are his world championship ring, his Olympic Gold Medal, and his wildly popular Nike shoes, now at the Kyrie 3. He’s accomplished enough already early on in his career that basketball experts and historians project multiple rings and the Hall Of Fame in his future. But what makes him truly different from others his age is his approach to the grander scheme of life and his journey towards finding inner peace and self-purpose is. The Kyrie 3 is what you’d expect from Nike; it’s designed with a thorough analysis of Irving’s evolving on-court play and made concrete with performance technology that has been nearly perfected by the brand. Looking good with a pair of jeans comes secondary to being in tune with the athlete during activity. Thankfully, it does both. The shoe itself was created by a committee of Nike designers, with several distinct minds contributing new ideas and combining them with the proven success of the earlier models.

The third Kyrie shoe catapults from what has worked so well with the first two Nike Kyrie installments – the curved outsole, Zoom Air – and adds on two independent traction pods at the forefoot and an integrated forefoot band. The pods on the lateral and medial forefoot are emphasized with bright colors, while Dynamic Flywire cables aid with the lockdown on the forefoot band. The Kyrie 3 is rife with personal details as well; returning is the “JBY” logo, representing Kyrie’s personal “Just Be Yourself” motto, and “H+H”, the “Hungry and Humble” message passed down from his father Drederick. Roman numerals VIII and XIII represent his late mother’s birthday on August 13th; the same graphic is tattooed on Kyrie’s wrists. Finally, his daughter’s name Azurie as well as his mother’s name Elizabeth can be found outside the visible Zoom Air window on the sole. The Nike Kyrie 3 “Black Ice” will release on December 26th, 2016 with an MSRP of $120. Kyrie is expected to debut the shoes during the Christmas Day game against the Golden State Warriors.

Additional Kyrie 3 colorways are set for a release on January 14th (Team Red).

Gunn & MooreSave up to 20% on Gunn & Moore Cricket Shoes Gunn & Moore Cricket ShoesNike has unveiled its first pair of commercialised self-lacing shoes, the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0.

A small number of Nike+ users can book an appointment and buy the shoes through the "Reserved for You" section of the app. If you're not included in that group, the HyperAdapt shoes will go on sale December 1 at two Nike locations in New York City. The HyperAdapt 1.0 shoes will cost $720 (~£580). "When you step in, your heel will hit a sensor and the system will automatically tighten,” explained Tiffany Beers, the project’s technical lead. Nike actually refers to the technology as "adaptive lacing" rather than "self lacing" because there are two buttons on the side of the shoe that allow you to tweak how loose or tight the laces are. In the theory, the laces will then be held in that position, preventing your laces from coming undone while running, slam dunking, or otherwise exerting yourself. Nike originally announced in October 2015 that it would sell some  Back to the Future-esque Nike Mags in spring 2016. Sadly, except for a part of the sole that emits a turquoise light, these HyperAdapt shoes don't look much like Marty McFly's Nike Mags.

In the video above you can see Jacques Slade, who reviews and unboxes shoes on YouTube, playing around with a black pair of HyperAdapts. Perhaps the most notable thing about them is just how loud the self-lacing mechanism is; you can really hear that high-torque motor grinding away. Slade confirms in the video that Nike hasn't yet revealed how the shoes work, from a technical point of view. Nike's automatic lacing system patent from 2009 is probably still the best starting point: [The US patent] teaches an automated tightening shoe. The tightening mechanism of [US patent #6,691,433] includes a first fastener mounted on the upper, and a second fastener connected to the closure member and capable of removable engagement with the first fastener so as to retain releasably the closure member at a tightened state. [The patent teaches] a drive unit mounted in the heel portion of the sole. The drive unit includes a housing, a spool rotatably mounted in the housing, a pair of pull strings and a motor unit.

Each string has a first end connected to the spool and a second end corresponding to a string hole in the second fastener. The motor unit is coupled to the spool. [The patent] teaches that the motor unit is operable so as to drive rotation of the spool in the housing to wind the pull strings on the spool for pulling the second fastener towards the first fastener. [The patent] also teaches a guide tube unit that the pull strings can extend through. Slade also comments on the sole of the HyperAdapt, noting that it probably uses Cushlon cushioning rather than Lunarlon. Presumably the lacing mechanism is battery-powered, but there's no word on how long the battery might last or how you might recharge it. The HyperAdapt 1.0 will be available to a "small" number of Nike+ app users from November 28 this year, and then from two Nike retail locations in NYC from December 1. There will be three colour variations (white, grey, black). Pricing has been confirmed at $720, or about £580 (but they won't go on sale in the UK).
