I picked up a pair of Nike sneakers, but they were AT&T / Nike sneakers and I couldn't use them on my Verizon plan. I figured i would just update the firmware, but it turns out they were already on version 8, and had to wait 3 whole months for Verizon to come out with version 9 and someone to upload it to the web. It took 3 days to download it off some russian site i couldnt even read, but after i got it installed on my sneakers my buddy with the same sneakers let me borrow his so we could go menu screen by menu screen to change mine to english without knowing russian.

Lol in the future they won’t let you walk without a subscription.
To be fair, remember LA Gears with the LEDS in them? I won $5 betting that I could make them Yellow. I then lost $5 saying I could make them blue (a blue LED was hella expensive in 1995, and I was like 13, so I cut my losses)

Health insurance: We are terribly sorry but we won't cover your work accident as we noticed your shoes weren't charged at the time of the accident.
This is accurate, except for the "terribly sorry" part. They never apologise!
*Your hearing loss has been determined to not be service related*
More like, "we are sorry, the data from Nike indicates that your walking is improper, we will not cover your claim"
Car insurers do that already. Companies like Nexis Lexis get your driving habits from car manufacturers, stored under the VIN of the vehicle. Insurers get this data.
The used car market for pre-"smart" cars became very expensive because oft that.

I own a few different pair of these. You do not need the app. Android phones brick them anyway. Happened to me. You do not have to bend over to lace them. They lock to your feet when you put them on. Nobody bought these shoes. The last pair to come out were Jordan’s and they were 600$ retail. 2021

Just note they put the wrong tags on all the clothes and can't keep inventory straight so if you try to return something it's a pain in the ass because you literally cannot find anything because it almost always with 100% accuracy will have the wrong tab because screw you that's why

The zipper on my Kangaroos still works without being connected.
The next version will include a feature that tightens the shoes too tight if you stop paying for your subscription.
Worse. The next version will tighten your laces where you won't even be able to take the shoes off your feet until you agree to the new end user licence agreement that takes away your ability to sue the company and forces you into shitty one sided arbitration like with what Roku did with their tvs.

Nike probably exclusively cater to their audience who collect shoes and never wear them and puts them in their stupid box for decades for the shoe to appreciate in value
Honestly ever sense the whole “shoe collecting” thing started Nike specifically (but every big brand I still see around) has started to suck to actually wear for longer then 10mins they only design for looks now not functionality, and trying to put a fuggin app in a shoe only proves that too me. Trust me hit up a goodwill and find a good pair of converse even my “new” ones I’ve had for about 7yrs without repairs. (Minus laces I chew through those somehow)
I live in Bangladesh and got fake Nike shoes for 25$. Better than anything I've had before. Comfortable and I can treat them like shit without damaging them. @@johndortheknight4802

Idiocracy predicted crocs, but even Idiocracy couldn't predict shoes with apps. We're even dumber than the people in Idiocracy.
Crocs are flipping awesome. Don't need to wear socks, they get good traction in wet weather, and your feet don't sweat. The only time I wear anything else is the steel toe boots for work. Of course they're knockoffs because I'm not paying $50 for two pieces of foam rubber. The knockoffs are made of much harder material anyway. They are 10 years old at this point and don't even have holes in the soles yet even with me walking across town and driving a manual transmission car with a racing clutch and missing rubber pads on the pedals every day. Why would I wear shoes that require socks and make my feet sweat unless I'm trying to protect my feet from falling objects? Sneakers are useless, they're expensive and fall apart after a couple years.
What do you mean they predicted crocs?
They did not predict crocks, they went to store looking for the most ridiculous footwear they could find and there it was, brand new company selling something ugly. They did not predict crocs, they did the best promo video for footwear ever!
On the realistic side, crocs are not that bad. They are ugly, but they are comfy, serve for years and with the strap behind heel, they stay on the foot perfectly. Great for gardening for example. Little bit like Fiat Multipla. It was ugly, but the visibility from that car was amazing, engine was quite strong and you could loat a whole pallet in the back.
@@theodorgiosan2570 yeah but you feel the pebbles on a dirt road
something to keep in mind is that this specific shoe was marketed and made for "sneakerheads" directly. the very audience nike intended to sell this shoe to was their most devoted fans who are willing to pay a high price for a gimmick. they are betraying the very audience most likely to come back and make repear purchases from them.
also, $350 USD for a shoe should more than justify a lifetime of app upkeep (especially an app with only 2 functions).
True....that app does not require any maintenance or updates. It was programmed once and then literally fire-&-forget.
Open/close
Lights on/off
Button for changing color (maybe a selector field like on the hue... another thing for the bin when the disable the app)
Maybe tension force
Battery status.
I think there's a Chinese company out there that offers a programmable Bluetooth remote control for toys that could get adapted to the shoes
At this point, I am somewhat surprised that they didn't just market their shoes as "Nike Mercurys" and sell them in a locked down display case made of 6-inch thick polycarbonate or toughened bulletproof glass. Then reduce the total number manufactured to a few hundred (up to an absolute maximum of 1000), and raise the price by at least an order of magnitude - to $3500 or maybe even $35K, to attract only the most pretentious customers with far more money than sense. This would more or less guarantee that none of those customers would ever do anything so mundane as actually wearing the shoes, even if they were somehow able to open the display case. This would therefore enable Nike to reduce the quality of materials used to a bare minimum (hence boosting profit-margins), since the "shoes" would no longer function as shoes at all - they would be ornamental at most.
@@mammutMK2thanks cause I own a few pair.
Honestly, a pair for 350 dollars.I would expect a lifetime replacement of soles included...😂
@@82Heniu82 the soles are made of super tuff material. I’m really shocked they are for basketball. The only thing that caused ware in the ones I have . Was the pedal on my bike had metal spikes that eventually damaged two of my pairs.
my shoes are already made of child-labor enabled cheap foam that cost $3 to make but I paid $50 for.
Got rid of my memory foam shoes, they make me lose balance. My father was feeling the same, told him, he got rid of them too
I have a feeling Nike would be firing someone if they had to pay 3 bucks to make a pair of shoes.
I have a pair of steel toe boots that were $30 at Walmart. Those are what I wear to work. I also have a pair of nonslip shoes that cost $20 that I wore for my old job. And finally I have a pair of knockoff Mossy Oak Crocs that I wear every time it's not work or winter. The boots are 10 years old, the nonslip shoes are 7 years old, and the Crocs are also 10 years old. I don't replace them until a hole is worn all the way through the sole. They last an unbelievably long time, no idea why everyone needs to buy shoes so often or spend so much money on them.
I am not joking when I say that today, I saw a 1994 Mercury Tracer. My wife and I were pulling into the neighborhood, it was passing and I broke my neck looking at it. Same color. I said I *think* it was a corolla but the lights were too small, as it passed quickly. You flashing that picture of all cars on today of all days was quite serendipitous. And that car is sexy. I drive a 1997 Lexus LS400, so there's no internet needed for my sunroof.
Any BMW or Tesla that makes you brake your neck looking at it? I mean sorry if you have been in a accident with a Tesla driver.
Joke aside. The last modern car that got me into the stare of wounder and intrest on the road was some strange VW concept car? I'm not even sure what it actual was. VW XL Sport? That is almost 10 years ago now. There are so many show-offs with more money then sense. And they get 0 attention and 0 repsect. There are seriusly Lada's and rusty Skoda cars that take intrest on the parking lot. Even now there are plenty of Tesla and crap going around. How a Lada can be more impressive then a sports car is simply crazy. Even a beat up Viper or whatever trumps anything made in the last 10 or so years.
Appshoelutely crazy world we live in today
I used to get Nike as a kid, I remember they'd last 6-7 months and were expensive. I started getting skater shoes like DC or Etnies or whatever and they lasted years and were half the price.
Good to know that Nike is keeping up it's longevity with it's apps too.
Shit skate shoes are just as bad. I think the Osiris shoes I've got on now were like $115, but I'm also a size 14 so they're harder to find and more expensive
@@smnkm4ehfer I'm not saying skate shoes are the be-all-end all, just that I've had better luck with the $40-50 range of those shoes vs the Nikes which were way, way more expensive and failed in every way the skater shoes don't
@@smnkm4ehfer Dunno about Osiris, they've always looked like a PITA to me, but my DCs I got for less than $50 look dope, have excellent build and material quality and last for ages (although to be fair I'm old and don't do anything exciting). I can't even wear regular sneakers, they're just too uncomfortable.
I wear steel toe boots for work and winter and knockoff Crocs the rest of the year when I'm not at work. Both are 10 years old or more. I don't replace them until there is a hole worn straight through the shoe.
@@theodorgiosan2570 That's how you god damned do it!
Shoe apps are crazy
Honestly I thought he was talking about the Nike running app, which is actually pretty cool, but an app to tie your shoes is absurd lol. Like you kinda had it coming 😅
not to mention totally useless.
Well, the person who buys crap like that is even crazier. lol
@@t_ylrAs a kid, I owned a pair of shoes that could sort of tie themselves... but no fancy computerised shit, it was just this manual twist dial thingy.
What's crazy is that a simple shoe app has to be """maintained""" and """updated""". Android and Apple could choose to prioritize backwards-compatibility like Microsoft did with Windows programs for decades, and like Linus does with the Linux kernel, and these apps would stay usable forever.
I agree with the not insult the victim mentality. Why is Grandma who doesn't even know what the Internet is mocked when she is scammed rather than given sympathy? It so frustrating when people just think being stupid means you deserve to be scammed.
I’m 47, and never thought I’d live to see the day we needed an app for shoes. You know, those things we created many thousands of years ago.
Greed knows no bounds. Trend chasing and then not caring.
I bought a pair of these last year (because I thought they were cool). First thing I had to do was perform a firmware update on them, no lie!
Soon you will need two different subscriptions in your shoes to either walk or run
as a regulare barefoot walker i have to mention: already ahead of them
Now wait a minute, buster. You trying to run? You'll need the Nike Pro Premium + plan for that.
Of course you do.
After all, you need a different suspension when walking than you do when running.
And there will probably be DLC for different kinds of surfaces.
And you will need a special device from the manufacturer for pairing them up.
Actually, 4 subscriptions- you do have TWO feet; gotta tailor the lace pressure to each foot in each mode, no?
The cat just casually wanders in at 7:48 and then Enderman-teleports away. 😆

what would our lives be like without this man
LG has been out of the phone business for years now, and yet they won't open source anything about them. I still can't have VoLTE working on a 5 year old phone because they won't release the code to the public.
Guess I'm using VoIP for life then.
To be fair, that's different. Nearly 0% of phone manufacturers have their own radios, so the baseband firmware is licensed in. They may not even have the source, but even if they did, they don't have the rights to open source it and all the docs are under NDA. There are exactly 0 LTE modems that are open in any way, forget the firmware, you can't even get docs for the API without an NDA. And no one is going to make one because a) OEMs have no reason to demand that and their volume is the only thing that counts, and b) patent holders/licensors for 4G/5G/6G won't allow it. It is incredibly sad. Also, VoLTE has blown for me at nearly all times.
@@paulie-g They're happy fucking us, but they won't fuck each other.
It's stupid, because they SHOULD prioritize the consumers over other corporations, because if we don't give them money, they'll cease to exist. But they don't, because they've realized that they can treat the consumers like utter garbage and they'll still buy the products.
Very true. Here's my 2 cents as an Electronic Engineer - the NDAs on the radios are somewhat understandable - they can always argue they don't want you eavesdropping or transmitting at non-civil radio bands, and also the legal radio frequency differ all around the world - which is a big headache if you're desiging phones for global usage. Anyway, getting schematics to replace at least the f-ing battery or charging port should be enforced by law IMO, hopefully EU can pull that off in the future (they are already trying with the replaceable battery act to be implemented in 2027).
@@MrKata55 That's not the reason for the NDAs. 4/5/6G Radio vendors have 0 liability for use of their products in devices, nor would documentation even allow you to do funky things with bands (this is not 5GHz WiFi where you could potentially borrow military spectrum under tight conditions). When I say the docs aren't available without NDA, they're not even available without a horrific NDA *to customers*, ie OEMs.
@@paulie-g I'm wondering why Lineage works on most phones EXCEPT LG though. Like the Sony Xperia lines of phones have working Lineage with working VoLTE. Sick of having to use stock roms on phones. I simply will not upgrade and continue to use google voice.
Also not spending a grand on a phone, so RIP Sony

If you buy a shoe that requires an app to use, there's something profoundly wrong with you anyway, whether or not the app is made unavailable at some later point in time. Come to think about it, same thing goes if you wear shoes with colored lights commanded by a phone app. Get a shoe that does its intended job well and that should be it.
The same holds true for many other products ranging from a camera to a fridge or a car.
Not even shoes, if you buy a product that requires an app to use its time to rethink the decision.

My plumber wanted me to buy an automatic water shut-off for the house that was connected by WiFi. To what, I don't really know. The answer was no.
That was the right thing to do. We all know the next step would have been that it would have shut your water off until you paid the app subscription ransom. I'm sure it's only feature it could have provided was to shut the water off if it detected a leak or something, right? I would have told the plumber there won't be any leaks if he does his job correctly. Even if it calculates how much water was used, who cares? The meter already does that.
Saw an ad for one of those recently and it reaffirmed my belief that some things are better off being fully analog.
Velcro solved this problem decades ago.
Now that I think of it, velcro probably releases huge amounts of microplastics close to your nose

last episode he was flirting with the idea of consumer blaming, now he's all in
Agreed, best part is? I don't blame him. We genuinely do this to ourselves.
We, the consumers, are the Market. And the Market can't seem to stop being stupid.
Yeah we can’t really blame him 😂
It’s a fair perspective when people are arguing over Samsung or Apple, or different brands of car… but a fuckin shoe with an app, nah that’s on you 100%
I think it's reasonable to say "this isn't a thing that should happen to anyone but what tf were you expecting?"
You nees to shame people sometimes. If you keep doing really stupid stuff all the time,, you should be shamed.
If you keep giving a business money for stupid products, at some point you can't solely blame the business.
"Shoe app" reminded me of an ancient memory of mine.
Nike+iPod
anyone remember that from back in the day?
🤣🤣🤣 youre one of a kind! plz never change!!!!
nike used to be a great shoe brand back in the 2000s... but now they seem to be worse than the knockoffs of their own shoes from china, i guarantee you the chinese knockoff of these shoes will probably have a remote AND maybe app support that may or may not be prone to being discontinued too, but hey at least you have the remote which should not be able to get discontinued as it does not need updates.
meanwhile, the boot world has a (patented) replacement to shoelaces that's basically a braided metal cable that's wound up in a ratcheted hub to tighten it.
It's called a BOA
If you're not requiring a very strong/tight tieing of the laces there's also elastics - both the full length laces that you simply tightendown to taste once (but possible to adjust of needed, and individual pieces of elastic silicone for each pair of holes that you thread through and lock down. Less adjustable, but typically comes in slightly different lengths for each hole, and usually one or two more than sets of holes, so one can elect to not use the shortest/longest, for some adjustment.
I love my Redwing boots with BOAs.
BOAs are also found on high end cycling, hunting, and fly fishing boots/shoes.
They are great
I'm an Android and iOS developer. Google Play restrictions, update requirements, and security rules are insane and exhausting. I don't blame any company to say I'm out.
Share your shoe app on your website, it's not something you need Google Play publicity for, the customer already bought it. They will download your app from your website and not complain.
K, then don't make stuff you're not willing to maintain. You're essentially saying you're too lazy to do the job properly. Most of those requirements are to ensure your lousy app doesn't become a vulnerability or defunct due to using outdated deprecated libraries/APIs. If your app can't manage to pull in at least a buck or two per install to compensate you for that work then it probably wasn't worth making to begin with.
@@berto1014 I don't think you're deeply involved in Android development.
Bloody hilarious m8. The cover pic scarred my cat. 🤣

Some people erroneously think that full disclosure would result in less revenue. No. People will buy that no matter who says don't do that. It would just prevent lawsuits from the few people that get pissed off.
I hate that at least some people did the math on that and figured it was still the move for them.
I disagree. Full disclosure would also mean correcting ALL of their nomenclature involved with the product.
You wouldn't be allowed to "Buy" these shoes, You would be "Temporarily renting the shoes as well as the function of tightening shoelaces and displaying LEDs, for an unspecified period of time that we (the manufacturer) may revoke whenever we want."
Same for software. If software companies weren't allowed to use buy, and had to fully disclose that their software is temporary, and that you do not own it, you aren't entitled to it, and they will change the term of the sale after they have your money, people wouldn't give them money because they'd be put off by the fact that it would say "RENT" not "Buy"
@@xBrokenMirror2010x And what I'm saying is that there would still be people to buy the stuff. But trying to harness everyone will result in lawsuits so expensive that they'll wish they frickin didn't.
that first part was so real man thank you
I have my fake Nike shoes for few years now and they still hold except that brand name that fell off in few days
_There's __--no longer--__ an app for that!_
"Power Laces, no way!"
Entertaining on many levels! I never heard of a shoe app before and I hope to never again. Shame on Nike.
Hello 👋
Respect to the companies on the other end that put extra effort into ensuring a product remains functional or available
This man should be running for US President ! 👍👍
running in Nike shoes?
He'd be significantly better than who we have now that's for sure.

Definitely a be careful what you wish for moment but if you look at my JoB playlist, you will see his success. He's a great choice for left-overs and a more peaceful world if the other guy wins ain't so bad sounding either
@@smnkm4ehfer yeah, that peaceful world was so boring
I wish companied would just release the source code, especially if they discontinue it. At least someone could take it over.
Problem is probably something like: they cobbled together a few lines on top of an example app that came with a proprietary library that the boss(*) of the IT department liked. Impossible to disentangle and disclosing the source would also reveal the large heap of spyware that's inside this library.
(*)...you know, the guy who knows how to spell "kompjoodor" and nodded when some friend of the CEO bragged about "servers" (almost sounds like legal slaves! so that's cool.) - so he got hired to head that "IT" department that you need to get money from millennials.
"Please install the app to be able to tie your shoe laces!"
....
😂😂😂😂😂
The sulk was gold :)
I worked at Google. One of the things I needed to do is to convert from one database to another. The transition would take about 12 minutes. I was told I couldn't make the app inaccessible for 12 minutes at 2AM sunday morning. I pointed out that anyone who changed something during that 12 minutes would be screwed. They said "That'll be only a small number of customers."
Was that primarily stuff like merging databases as products coalesced? Did you mostly work with SQL?
My sincerest condolences on the very first point. Turned congrats in the end...
The rest? "Why am I not surprised?"
All I got. 🤷♂️
@@vak2586 They were deprecating a very widely used database. I had to move to the database that the VP had paid employees to create, which was totally incompatible with the database we were using. I could have implemented an entire two-phase commit system, like they did between the old database and the new database that the *other* VP had created, but our VP didn't like to use that one. It was ... messy political. I implemented it to basically write to both databases, copied all the stuff from old to new, kept the two up to date... I figured it would be better to be down for 10 minutes while we turned off the old server, copied the changed records to the new database, and spun up the new server. Boss wanted me to just ignore that you can't have half your servers writing to the old database and half your servers writing to the new database and keep everything consistent.
The old database was megastore, while the new one was F1. Megastore was not SQL, F1 was ... mostly SQL, with weird update rules. I think there's whitepapers for both.
So _that's_ why my comments got sucked into void once in a while…
So wait, users knowing the app is not working is the thing they are worried about, and not it actually not working?
Nike released a special edition back to the future shoe, exactly like the ones from the movie that also had the bricking problem if the update failed.
This intro is spot on!
you embrace the weirdest things. love your sense of humor
Cheers Louis 🤙🏼
all events in most Hong Kong's shopping malls require their respective mobile application memberships *and* cashless payments.
So if your phone gets stolen, you can't go to the mall to buy a new one? Jeez.
The future is now.
Cash is so unhygienic. I don't support the apps though. Why need to waste storage space for something so unnecessary.
@@Richdragon4 Yep. Screw all these companies that want me to download their app and waste my storage space to do business with them!
@@Richdragon4while I do agree that cash is dirty I would rather use that still because six people in my state just got caught using skimming machines stealing thousands of dollars from people using a card is not always safe
@@ghostjason401 Yeah, scammers are always going to find ways. I would rather see their creativity used for something that helps people.

I paid $600 for my shoes. Hand made in my city by a small business and they look great. I get compliments on them more than zero times which was the norm on every other pair I've worn
Oh my fookin god, please stop the world I wanna get off..........
There is so much meme potential in video cuts
The best minute and a half intro I have heard in my life.
Chapeau.
This is just great . I love lofe
I actually laughed at that guy! lol why would he need a shoe app.
Good one!!! Love it!!
