The laces can be controlled manually by pushing a button on the shoe or with a smartphone app.

Additionally, the laces can withstand 32 pounds of force, which is roughly equal to that of a standard parachute cord.

Players have the ability to input different fit settings, loosening the shoe during a time-out, for example.

The Adapt BBs will be available in mid-February for $350.
