Last year’s most game-changing revolution in the sneaker world came in the form of the Nike Adapt BB, the first widely-available shoe with automatic lacing technology.
Functioning through a Bluetooth-pairing app, the shoe allows for wearers to adjust the fit of both the right and left shoe via an app and functions on a series of adjustable wires laced throughout the shoe. Technology like this has been the dream of the sneaker world ever since it was first depicted in Back to the Future Part II. With the debut of the Nike Adapt BB, it seemed the future had finally arrived.

But why stop there? Just because the future is here doesn’t mean it can’t be improved on, a sentiment Nike seems to have taken to heart in a big way. This week, they unveiled the next step in auto-lacing technology: the Nike Adapt BB 2.0.
The biggest improvement in the Nike Adapt BB 2.0 over the first iteration of the shoe is honestly aesthetics. The Nike Adapt BB 2.0 is a better-looking shoe in every way. The first shoe understandably seemed to prioritize tech over style, but now that the science behind auto-lacing technology has been locked down, Nike seems to have been able to take the time to make the shoe look as stylish and futuristic as the tech behind it is. The Nike Adapt BB 2.0 is sleeker, with better detailing and an eye-catching heel tab.
Speaking of that heel tab, word is that the Nike Adapt BB 2.0 improves on one of the major flaws of the original: it’s easier to put on. The Adapt BB, for all of its innovation, was a bit of a pain to pull onto your feet. By the sound of it, putting on the Nike Adapt BB 2.0 is a breeze.
As far as the sneaker tech goes, the Nike Adapt BB 2.0 features forefoot Zoom cushioning (a signature material in Nike basketball sneakers) and an adjusted midsole stack which should help in foot movement.
While no official information is available on the charging mechanism, it feels safe to say it will resemble that of the original model, which charged the shoes via a wireless power deck. You would simply drop the shoes on the pad and they would charge within a few hours, with a battery that would last for a week.
The Nike Adapt BB 2.0 is part of Nike’s NBA All-Star Weekend lineup, so look for it to go live on the SNKRS app sometime between Feb. 14 and Feb. 16.
