Sports giant Nike has taken out a patent of the self-lacing sneakers worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2.They would've been better off taking out a patent on a time machine. That's the thing with Nike, they don't see the big picture.
If you patent the time travelling machine, when someone invents it you get to make money from it, buy one, go back in time and patent the self-lacing shoe. It's win-win.
There's hope the self-lacing Nike could really be in stores by 2015 after Nike took out a patent for the technology involved in making them.
Really? Shoes that tie themselves? Aren't we obese enough yet? For some people putting on shoes is the most exercise they get.
