Nike announces self-lacing shoes (Huaraches) that can be controlled by Apple's Siri

Nike is tying up with Siri to let owners of its new shoes untie their laces using just their voice.

The company's latest take on futuristic wearable technology has been embedded into its revamped Huaraches trainers.

Users can tell the Apple virtual assistant, 'Siri, release my shoes' through the Apple Watch or iPhone, via the Nike Adapt app.

Nike's FitAdapt lacing system uses a midfoot motor to carry out the lacing process for wearers, which has previously been used on other trainers such as the Nike Adapt BB.
