Nike will release 2nd gen self-lacing shoes at half the price of the originals

I fail to see how self-lace shoes help anything. If you can't lace your own shoes, you likely need help in more areas than lacing your shoes. These self-lace shoes will not make anyone self-sufficient.

Additionally, this is the kind of fashion statement, which could possibly get your kids beaten up, and have them taken off them.

Which, if I understand it correctly, is part of the reason many public schools have adopted uniforms, instead of allowing street clothing to be worn..
