Nike Unveils Hands-Free Shoes That Are Accessible For Disabled People

Nike has added a new sneaker to its FlyEase adaptive shoe collection that will be the first hands-free tennis shoe in its product line.

The shoe, dubbed the Nike GO FlyEase, features a “bi-stable hinge and a tensioner — which works like a big rubber band — to allow the shoe to smoothly open and close” at ease. The innovative design makes it possible to put on and take off the shoe entirely hands-free, with no shoe laces, zippers or Velcro straps to contend with.

When the new GO FlyEase shoe hits the market later this year, it will improve the ability of many older and disabled people to manage their shoes independently, while not having to sacrifice the comfort and fit that makes sneakers so popular with the masses.
