- Nike is discontinuing the app for its $350 self-tying sneakers, Adapt BB, citing the end of creating new versions of the shoes.
- The app allowed users to control features like tightening laces and changing LED colors, but will no longer be available for download after August 6.
- Despite still being able to perform basic functions like adjusting fit settings, the loss of app support has disappointed many owners.
- Some customers hope Nike will open-source the app to maintain full functionality, but Nike has not announced any plans to do so.
- The situation reflects a trend of companies introducing tech-dependent products that may be abandoned, leading to customer frustration and loss of trust in such products.
