I do this too and it usually results in me ruining my shoes faster, just like my mom said it would.

Nike unveils their first hands-free shoe
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
For once I actually like the look and am all for products that add accessibly, but won't the backs where you step to take them off get dirty as hell? The all black version would be less susceptible, but the lighter colors will wind up looking nasty even quicker then they usually do if you literally have to step on the heels.
My parents always used to yell at me for being lazy and doing exactly that to take my shoes off, and I find it hilarious that's now considered working as intended.

I can see this being popular with health care professionals... nikes are already popular with nurses because of how light they are.
I wonder how well the mechanism holds up...

The idea of the thing seems excellent, but I'm going to guess that it will be A: very expensive, and B: break in like a month
I'm intrigued because after suffering multiple strokes, I think these may be something my father would benefit from owning.
Why are we acting like Nike hasn't made slip-on sneakers for decades? Oh, because they can now charge $200 instead of $50 and they'll break in three months.
Make some that are affordable and available for people with accessibility issues and I'll consider supporting the product.
I worked at multiple boutique shoe retailers during college, so I just wanted to chime in and say these have been a thing for a long time. Pretty decent ones are made by the brand Kizik and they aren't going to end up on Grailed for six times the price.
If you have a family member that is young enough that they care about looking "hip" but have issue getting their shoes on I do recommend them, though you still have to get them off with a bit more force than elderly folks are generally capable of, in my experience.

$120 initially, according to CNN.

Nike made a hands-free shoe and you have to see it to believe it
Nike's newest shoe is "easy on, easy off" for those who simply can not be bothered with the most minor inconveniences, like putting on shoes.

Shit; didn't think about that until now. lol
I'd buy a pair to try.
Will definitely grab. I have a pair of these UNVRS Flyease and they're really nice on top of the accessibility features.
I've never seen these before but kind of love them
Are they comfy?
I literally could have used these days ago when I had to take my shoes off numerous times because I kept having to go back in the house due to requests or forgetting something before heading out. These would have made doing so infinitely easier than needing to retie my shoe for the fourth time. Also I have a habit of removing my shoes like they do in the gif, but instead I ruin the heal portion of my shoe because of it. This having a way that your not rubbing your shoe up against the back of the other one will help prevent wear and tear over time. I'm down for them.

O_O' ...your foot would literally be twice the size of mine.
They run a bit narrow and took a bit to break in on my left foot (right was perfectly snug), but they're my go tos now. Had no issues on court with them at all, too. Will probably try to snag another pair once lockdown lifts out here in the UK since I last saw them at my local Nike outlet. Initially grabbed my purple pair in LA last year, but totally worth it for the uniqueness and feel.
