Anyone that grew up in the 80′s or 90′s surely remembers the auto lace-up sneakers in Back to the Future 2. Of course the thing most of us wanted was the hoverboard, but second to that was probably those trainers. If you don’t remember, Marty was in 2015, so we’re 5 years ahead of schedule!
Well Blake Bevin has built a sweet prototype. She is currently looking for funding to be able to produce and sell the Power Laces. If you would like to help her out with a small donation (every dollar helps), head over to this Kickstarter page and give a little to the girl.
As part of an Art project for a contest, I created a version from spare parts which I demoed in a short video clip. With your help and funding, I will develop and finalize a marketable version and mass produce it. The next version will operate under a different, more efficient mechanism, and will be more suitable for everyday use.
