Nike’s new self-lacing trainer, the Adapt BB, has fallen at the first hurdle after the Android app that controls the shoe malfunctioned. <\/p>\n

Billed as the “future of footwear”, the $350 (\u00a3268) a pair Adapt BB launched on Sunday.<\/p>\n

However, an update to the Google Android app that allows wearers to loosen or tighten the trainer failed to work. <\/p>\n

Customers complain that the Android app only syncs with one shoe. <\/p>\n

The shoe can be controlled manually using two buttons on the side. <\/p>\n

But people are frustrated that the Android app fails to work.<\/p>\n

One reviewer on Google Apps, Glenn Jeffries, wrote: “The software update had an error and now my right shoe won’t charge or turn on!!!! To spend $350 on a pair of shoes and not have it to work is embarrassing.”<\/p>\n

While Chris Sandoval said: “App wont pair with left shoe. Paired with sneakers right after unboxing then completely crashed after last update.”<\/p>\n

The Adapt BB contains a small motor which pulls the laces inside the trainer.<\/p>\n

Nike claims it has reinvented the shoe lace – which “dates back to 3500 BC, before Stonehenge or the Pyramids” – with its Adapt BB.<\/p>\n

Prior to the launch, Nike said: “Shoelaces: you had a good run. But we think we may have finally bettered you.”<\/p>\n

Nike has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

It has been a difficult week for the company.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Zion Williamson, a college basketball star for Duke University in South Carolina, slipped and fell when one of his Nike trainers split apart.<\/p>\n

The incident sent Nike’s share price down more than 1% in yesterday’s trading.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
