The shoelace has seen some respectable evolutionary forms especially on athletic shoes, but they may be destined for the trash pile when shoes like Nike’s ISPA Joyride Envelope take center stage. Laces are replaced by a bag-like upper with straps so ingress and egress are faster and involve two quick steps. Insert foot, cinch strap. Done. The three-pod Joyride cushioning system ensures ideal comfort and all-wear. It’s a futuristic look for those of you who are urban fast movers, and it goes on sale November 27th, just in time to think about burning some of those Thanksgiving feast calories.
