I still have my Adapt BB 1.0s in the OG colorway. Managed to cop them used for under retail a while back. I still enjoy them; they are actually really comfy imo and I really like the look of them. I think the technology is cool too. I think the main problem nowadays is probably the price. $500 retail for the Jordan 11s and $350-400 for the other adapts is pretty high. And maybe people just lack interest in the technology.
I agree, naturally technology innovation should drive price down. Same with how 4Ds were $350 and now you can find them for $100 on sale. But $350 for retail and $600 for resell makes most people lose interest.
Novelty shoes at best... just like the Nike Air Pressure in 1989, the Adidas_1 in 2004 and the Nike E.A.R.L.... still... good for a collection, just not for daily/performance use.
I actually love the way the 2.0's look in the mag colorways, but they're just so expensive. If they could hit that $200 price range (it would be nuts) or under I'd jump on them for sure.
I read somewhere that Tinker’s vision was a shoe that can easily adjust the fit based on a player’s needs, like loosening while taking free throws. I guess that’s why the focus is on the performance side.
I think Nike have dropped the adapt concept (auto lace) now...theres nothing on the internet about the 3.0. Such a shame. They should release the MAG again for retail. You are absolutely right that Nike should make the auto lace system a life style shoe rather than about performance.
I have the the Adapt BB 1.0 and I think they are a cool shoe. They aren’t the most comfortable imo but they aren’t bad. They are a good shoe if you want people to look at your shoes and say those look cool, or how do those work.
Nike + wasn't that bad since it was optional and relatively cheap. Very subtle additional too. They should still include the slot in all their running shoes
I got to this vid a bit late but I am honestly feeling this shoe a lot! I personally don’t feel like the shoe is too heavy.. they’re not light by any means but they aren’t a boot either lol. I love that they’re honing in the BTTF tech in this era. I like all the small lil tech features (lights,bt phone voice controls, etc.) and I love that they self lace! That’s the coolest thing about them! Totally a hype shoe but I plan on owning quite a few. Thanks for the vid. 💯
Awesome ep! Please do an episode on “sneakers that look great but arent pricey and arent mainstream either” Not sure if this is a good idea but it’s an idea
I've read comments about price and I think that's it's downfall. It's hard to support something that's so exclusive. My wife's asked if and when I'll buy a pair. I love the air max version but I just can't bring myself to spend that much. I can't justify that. As cool as they are i can't see them becoming the norm at that price. And have you seen the new flyease coming? Those are sweet and affordable
I have both of the OG colorways of the Adapt BB's. They are cool, decent for basketball and casual. But, I want the Auto Max Adapt in the Mag colorway, that shoe is going to be fire.
Got 'em: it was the tech and whole gimmicky concept that got me, but even though the weight is pretty annoying (but obviously expected), I find the shoes superb looking with great lockdown, very good upper comfort and very good midsole for real world all day comfort. if Nike were to make a conventionally laced version of these but the overall feel - and of course reduced the weight - it would be a pretty solid proposition on those merits.
the original design with the Nike Hyper Adapts 1.0 was the best interaction of the auto-lacing. The whole point of the shoe is to show off an "expensive toy". Make the lights and the technology visible (which they did in the Hyper Adapts 1.0). When the user laces their shoe or if they walk, add a breathing effect to the lights (can easily be added through the app). Like what @Heskicks said, the target audience for this shoe shouldn't be basketball players, the shoes are too heavy and clunky to wear. The target audience needs to be lifestyle/ streetwear.
I was actually looking forward to your on-feet review. Myself having wide feet (like you), I’m a 9.5 but I bought a 10. Man, my feet were hurting after hours of wearing the BB 2.0. Shoe’s kinda narrow. I haven’t tried to switch the insoles yet, maybe I’ll get a thinner one.
Both are better than the boot lol yea the boots the OG and expensive but they look ridiculous. These are more casual and still going to attract attention
You know how they have been retracing the grails lately (Grinch, AM95 Neon, DMP 6s etc etc,) like how far away are they from making a MAG GR or at least something we could all afford to pay resale on 🙂
Problems with self lacing shoes: 1) Not necessary 2) Too expensive 3) Too much maintenance required for it to function Don't waste your money on this overpriced crap
*I've got 9 pairs of self-lacing Nike (that I mostly wear) across Hyperadapt, BB 1.0 & BB 2.0 and personally, while I like the technology in the BBs 1 & 2, I much prefer the overall design of the Hyperadapts...*
If they dropped the price AND would use normal shoe models there would be way more appeal. I would buy an Air Max 90/97/720 with Adapt instantly. Or a Jordan 3
@HotSauce02228 even if they can make it lighter or reduce the price, these will still remain expensive and heavier then the traditional shoes. Besides that, the technology doesn't make much sense either. The lacing system used in the new vapormax is far better in my opinion.
Cost too much for auto-lacing - something that takes us 10 seconds and laces look good anyway. Maybe it they were highs and were a new version of the McFly that would be popular?
Super random vid today haha, working thru my backlog! I forgot to mention, both of these 2 I got glow in the dark, so thats rad!

Price is what makes me not buy them to be honest.
True

True..I still rock my Airmax adapts every now and then though
I actually love the way the 2.0's look in the mag colorways, but they're just so expensive. If they could hit that $200 price range (it would be nuts) or under I'd jump on them for sure.
There is a Nike store I went to, the 2.0's were 220
I got these on stockx for about that price. I hope they go back up because of the original Air mags
It's so ironic. I've picked them up in January as well 😂. Got a very good deal and I'm so stoked about them. They are super dope!
I think they would have been better if they weren't so much, theres a lot of better/cooler shoes people can get for that kind of money
No there isnt
Self tying shoes with back to the future vibes ? It doesn’t get better than that

I agree with you on that, they should release the Back to Future Mag again, 20 thousand is way to much but yeah I’m hoping for a 3.0 or something new
All the new tech is always a hit or miss

I just ordered me a pair and yes back to the future is one of my favorite movies of all time . except I'm not gonna buy the originals lol
Yeah these have the same features and are basically the same, no way in hell am I paying 20 thousand for some shoes, they need to release them again
I have both of the OG colorways of the Adapt BB's. They are cool, decent for basketball and casual. But, I want the Auto Max Adapt in the Mag colorway, that shoe is going to be fire.
are they to heavy for basketball

It died as soon as people saw the price point.
I just ordered a pair of Adapt BB 1.0... They get here tomorrow

How's the fit of 2.0? I've heard that you need to go up half a size.
I was actually looking forward to your on-feet review. Myself having wide feet (like you), I’m a 9.5 but I bought a 10. Man, my feet were hurting after hours of wearing the BB 2.0. Shoe’s kinda narrow. I haven’t tried to switch the insoles yet, maybe I’ll get a thinner one.
Got the Nike Adabt BB
It’s not dead, just overpriced
Pretty sure Nike can make an affordable
Self lacing sneaker
I have the 2.0 in white and cement it looks solid with shorts it’s a bit heavy but comfy. I like’em for shorts look
I have the 2.0 Mag the Auto Max jet stream and Jordan 11 adapts.
Jason Tatum played in the Adapt BB 1.0 for all of 2018/19 NBA season.
anddddddddd?????
@@sheldonlowery6406 He said he didn't know if anyone would be playing in the Adapt BB.
Both are better than the boot lol yea the boots the OG and expensive but they look ridiculous. These are more casual and still going to attract attention
Facts am I the only person who thinks lows are better
Why haven't Nike ever released the Nike pumps? Anyone know?
It’s just a string pulled together instead of laces as in Back To The Future.
You know how they have been retracing the grails lately (Grinch, AM95 Neon, DMP 6s etc etc,) like how far away are they from making a MAG GR or at least something we could all afford to pay resale on 🙂
3:07 what pants are those ?
Problems with self lacing shoes:
1) Not necessary
2) Too expensive
3) Too much maintenance required for it to function
Don't waste your money on this overpriced crap
4) The annoying sound they make when you activate and deactivate the self-lacing. 🙅♂️
I still need my adapt air max pair tho!!! I am a back to the future fan after all. I would have loved to have paid 260 for em!!!!!!
Unfortunately my size is sold out. I dig the ones previous and these too. I like anything in that colorway. EARL was junk
Yo I would cop these for $260! I think it’s a dope shoe, and the gimmicks are fun...lol. I’m a huge BTTF fan too
I agree this tech is dead in the water especially since the Flyease Go is out 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Can you do the adidas nmd spectoos
*I've got 9 pairs of self-lacing Nike (that I mostly wear) across Hyperadapt, BB 1.0 & BB 2.0 and personally, while I like the technology in the BBs 1 & 2, I much prefer the overall design of the Hyperadapts...*
They nice but not worth the price
I got a couple pairs of the 1.0’s new in the box. Not a good investment 🤦🏻♂️ 😭
Adapt tech don't have hype anymore. I saw the ones you are holding the, 2.0 on the shelf in my sleepy town.
I like the 1 better
If they dropped the price AND would use normal shoe models there would be way more appeal. I would buy an Air Max 90/97/720 with Adapt instantly. Or a Jordan 3
AGREE
I can just imagine a AirMax 1 AM97 with this adapt tech would look so dope
Thumbs up for saying Nike Mag not Air Mag 👏🏽
The technology isn’t dead. The designs are ugly. Make it lighter and on shoes that are actually desirable like the AJ11 but C’mon $500??
@HotSauce02228 even if they can make it lighter or reduce the price, these will still remain expensive and heavier then the traditional shoes. Besides that, the technology doesn't make much sense either. The lacing system used in the new vapormax is far better in my opinion.
Why is there still no 3.0 . BB 2.0 came out in 2020
Been wondering this too or another Air Mag release
2.0 outsole glow in the dark
I still like my adapt hurache blue
Will never buy an Adapt sneaker until they incorporate EL logos on the tongue like in BTTF2!
The Adapt will probably go the way of what happened to JoyRide. Its a novelty and an expensive one at that
Chunky shoes that cost double of a Jordan 1, No thanks
Hes the shirt is FIRE!!!!!!
Cost too much for auto-lacing - something that takes us 10 seconds and laces look good anyway.
Maybe it they were highs and were a new version of the McFly that would be popular?
Weren't even alive. Doa. Overpriced bricks.
They clean afff
Shit ,I got the tye dye and the max adapt, I love them and will buy more.
I think they look fly 👏nike
They made another one? Lol
I have a pair I spilled champagne on them
Oof gigs Chad
I tied my own shoes once. It is an overrated experience.
Nike adapt... for people who cant tie a shoe lace..and like walking around in tanks
Garbage 🗑 🚮
First again
