Nike's new $350 self-lacing smart sneakers break just days after launch

The problems appear to have arrived after Nike sent out a firmware update intended to fix problems with the shoes. Downloading and applying that caused the Android app to break.

The shoes do have manual controls, meaning that people can lean down and tie them up. But a large part of the functionality is built around the fact they can be controlled through the companion app, allowing for easy tightening when needed.

Just days after the unveiling, the trainers stopped working - much to the dismay of shoppers who had spent $350 on them.
