Anyone actually considered speaking to a footwear manufacturer about doing these??
I mean factories.
Remove all NIKE branding and get specs drawn up and find a company (add NIKE branding at a later date)
The craziest part about this link is that, several pages (and apparently years) back, someone suggested how the auto-laces could be achieved, accompanied with a crude hand-drawn schematic. The professional pic from today looks very similar. I'd post the pics side by side , but I don't know how to yet.
EDIT: Found the user drawn sketch; it's post #94 on page 4.
