Nike has created a self-lacing Air Jordan XI to celebrate the iconic sneaker’s 25th Anniversary. The new Air Jordan XI Adapt uses the company’s ‘Adapt’ power lacing technology to create a perfect fit by electronically adjusting each shoe to the shape of the foot. The tech connects with the Nike Adapt App (which will sport a unique ‘Jordan-flavoured’ interface) and can be used to fine-tune your fit, switch between presets, customise the lights embedded in the midsole, and check power levels. It’s the perfect excuse to add another pair of kicks to your wardrobe – although there’s still no word on how much the Air Jordan XI Adapt will cost, so you might want to brace yourself.

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
