The Nike Go FlyEase is the brand’s first-ever hands-free sneaker, designed to remove the barrier to entry that lacing brings to some athletes with disabilities. Using a bi-stable heel hinge and “kickstand heel,” the shoe can be put on and taken off without the use of one’s hands. When you step on the kickstand heel at the back of the shoe, the footbed of the shoe pops open so that you can comfortably place your foot inside. Then, when you step down into the shoe, it snaps snugly into place. An underfoot “diving board” helps to maintain continuous comfort and stability, and a tensioner band prevents it from opening and closing when you don’t want it to. In creating the shoe, Nike listened to the voices of a broad spectrum of athletes, and wanted to deliver something that would meet a variety of needs across the board.
