Fun fact about Luka Doncic: he was one of the first hoopers to wear the Nike Adapt BB self-lacing shoes on-court. This list includes players like Jayson Tatum, Kyle Kuzma, as well as Zion Williamson at Duke.
This monumental basketball sneaker was the third to feature the self-lacing tech, after the Nike MAG and the HyperAdapt silhouettes. The Adapt BB was basketball specific, however, and is noticeable lighter than its predecessors.
The idea of the self-lacing sneaker is to have the perfect fit for certain situations in a game. If you needed to relax your feet during a timeout, loosen the bad boys with the Adapt App. You can preset your preferred tightness with the app for both feet, then the motor and gear inside the sole will adjust any time you stick your feet in the shoes. If you need a quick adjustment, two buttons on the lateral side assists in tightening and loosening the lace loops.
The shoes were painstakingly tested as you can see in the graphic below:
You can find the Nike Adapt BB at StockX, Flight Club, and Stadium Goods.
