Is Nike Adapt Technology Dead?! Adapt BB 1.0 vs 2.0 Review

[@heskicks]

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!

[@DylanLey]

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.

[@HiddenGamer117]

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.

[@fiskekroker]

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

[@Trollyaccount]

True

[@shoesrmyhobby]

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!

[@antondcmd]

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.

[@cybergonk83]

True..I still rock my Airmax adapts every now and then though

[@brsh496]

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.

[@jxidxjdj9485]

There is a Nike store I went to, the 2.0's were 220

[@syco_hundreds2661]

I got these on stockx for about that price. I hope they go back up because of the original Air mags

[@flimgenco]

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.

[@thomasc4191]

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

[@neveroutofbalance365]

No there isnt

[@syco_hundreds2661]

Self tying shoes with back to the future vibes ? It doesn’t get better than that

[@austinmooren]

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.

[@Holyhalohelms]

All the new tech is always a hit or miss

[@MrDominic152]

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.

[@Malster101]

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

[@WaveLordLuis]

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. 💯

[@jdlnz9484]

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

[@gumuru]

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

[@ouchelun]

How's the fit of 2.0? I've heard that you need to go up half a size.

[@edsongomez8011]

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

[@leviday54]

I just ordered a pair of Adapt BB 1.0... They get here tomorrow

[@shockiaki]

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.

[@igip831]

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

[@syco_hundreds2661]

Facts am I the only person who thinks lows are better

[@thaiblkman904]

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

[@Malster101]

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

[@LazerC4]

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.

[@wyattdavis5166]

are they to heavy for basketball

[@bry.swoosh]

3:07 what pants are those ?

[@Matt-go7ss]

Why haven't Nike ever released the Nike pumps? Anyone know?

[@bengutierrez3649]

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

[@dacariice19]

I have the 2.0 Mag the Auto Max jet stream and Jordan 11 adapts.

[@15six24]

Jason Tatum played in the Adapt BB 1.0 for all of 2018/19 NBA season.

[@sheldonlowery6406]

anddddddddd?????

[@15six24]

@@sheldonlowery6406 He said he didn't know if anyone would be playing in the Adapt BB.

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

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.

[@Ayyalejandro]

Got the Nike Adabt BB It’s not dead, just overpriced Pretty sure Nike can make an affordable Self lacing sneaker

[@LoveMeBack]

It’s just a string pulled together instead of laces as in Back To The Future.

[@lucagelfort4877]

Can you do the adidas nmd spectoos

[@JL050]

It died as soon as people saw the price point.

[@cmazz_318]

Unfortunately my size is sold out. I dig the ones previous and these too. I like anything in that colorway. EARL was junk

[@derykmoates377]

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

[@kevincollins8620]

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!!!!!!

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

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 🙂

[@watchman703]

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.

[@_face773]

I agree this tech is dead in the water especially since the Flyease Go is out 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ThePackersRaider]

I like the 1 better

[@kevincollins8620]

Adapt tech don't have hype anymore. I saw the ones you are holding the, 2.0 on the shelf in my sleepy town.

[@toystar16]

Why is there still no 3.0 . BB 2.0 came out in 2020

[@Malster101]

Been wondering this too or another Air Mag release

[@mrupshift1549]

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

[@Juan-nz1gu]

AGREE I can just imagine a AirMax 1 AM97 with this adapt tech would look so dope

[@thesneakertifosi]

Thumbs up for saying Nike Mag not Air Mag 👏🏽

[@viet753]

They nice but not worth the price

[@Lanhoj]

*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...*

[@kevincollins8620]

Hes the shirt is FIRE!!!!!!

[@mohussain9377]

They clean afff

[@unclej6118]

2.0 outsole glow in the dark

[@paikiah77]

I still like my adapt hurache blue

[@elburto5387]

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?

[@QuietRiot69]

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

[@shoqmaxthefirst4640]

4) The annoying sound they make when you activate and deactivate the self-lacing. 🙅‍♂️

[@kinja73]

Will never buy an Adapt sneaker until they incorporate EL logos on the tongue like in BTTF2!

[@HotSauce02228]

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??

[@RAHUL-un2jo]

@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.

[@mickey034]

The Adapt will probably go the way of what happened to JoyRide. Its a novelty and an expensive one at that

[@williamkirk7781]

Shit ,I got the tye dye and the max adapt, I love them and will buy more.

[@gregshanahan6766]

I think they look fly 👏nike

[@johnq2331]

I got a couple pairs of the 1.0’s new in the box. Not a good investment 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😭

[@lunatrics]

Weren't even alive. Doa. Overpriced bricks.

[@Qwepzy]

Chunky shoes that cost double of a Jordan 1, No thanks

[@triggymctrigger2452]

They made another one? Lol

[@jackiesmacky4412]

I have a pair I spilled champagne on them

[@chase__________]

Oof gigs Chad

[@Numinor31]

I tied my own shoes once. It is an overrated experience.

[@luizfigo2420]

Nike adapt... for people who cant tie a shoe lace..and like walking around in tanks

[@j.j.8723]

Garbage 🗑 🚮

First again
