Nike has created a new lace-less, hands-free sneaker ideal for people with a variety of special needs.
According to the company, the Nike GO FlyEase uses a newly developed “smooth motion bi-stable hinge” that allows you to easily slide your foot in and out of the shoe without ever needing to use your hands.
DisabilityScoop’s Shaun Heasley explained how the shoe works: “Building on how a person might kick off a shoe, Nike designers incorporated a bi-stable hinge and a tensioner — which works like a big rubber band,” he said. This allows “the shoe to smoothly open and close, remaining secure in both positions.”
