I'm not likely to drop $350 on sneakers even in times when I'm gainfully employed, but man, if I did, I'd expect a commitment of support from the company for their app.

They should just open source the code/protocol for communicating with the shoe.

Yeah, that would be the ethical thing to do here (but they've made it clear they're not interested in doing it).

How low can you go as a human to need an app to tie your shoes?
Nike is peak Fiat consumer nonsense. Replacing spiritual lives with symbolic wealth that only spiritually bankrupt people will advertise.

Yeah, I don't get sneakerheads myself, but some folks love peak consumerism.

"I’m done with products supported by apps, now. If you can’t trust a multi-billion dollar company like Nike to continue support for a sneaker, how can you trust a toaster maker [or] an automaker? I’m out. Fuck ‘em" Welcome back to the real world, an app for a toaster, seriously?

This is why not everything needs an app. Especially not for $350.
