Inspired by Marty McFly Jr’s shoes in ‘Back to the Future II’ these self-lacing shoes created by Miss Blake Blevin are the real deal. Now, where are those self-adjusting jackets and hoverboards?

Nice color scheme.  There’s a how-toover at Instructables

“Inspired by ‘Back to The Future II’, this project is less ‘Practical’ than ‘Proof of Concept’, but hopefully it’ll tide you over until Nike comes out with something more polished.

This was also the first time I worked with an Arduino microcontroller, and I wanted to get some experience with the little guy.

Operation is quite simple- step into the shoe and a force sensor reads the pressure of your foot and activates two servo motors, which apply tension to the laces, tightening the shoe. A touch switch reverses the servos.”
