With its all-new Aerogami running jacket, Nike experiments with a more intuitive, seamless form of ventilation. The jacket's vents automatically open when the runner sweats, providing cooling that doesn't require slowing down or yanking on zippers.

Nike looks to make shoe recycling simpler with its new ISPA Link, a glue-less sneaker that quickly separates into three pieces to presort itself for recycling. The company hopes to scale the program to make sneaker recycling a more universal concept.

A lot of raw material goes into the making of footwear, so the less that can be used, the better for the environment. Nike's new Space Hippie shoes were designed with that in mind, as they're composed largely of recycled materials.

​Buying shoes online is a risky business, as it's hard to know if they'll fit once they arrive on your doorstep. Nike is attempting to address that issue, with its app-based and artificial intelligence-enabled Nike Fit system.

Though special edition models have offered lucky individuals a taste of this in recent years, Nike is preparing to launch a new self-lacing basketball shoe for the masses that can also adjust its fit on the fly.​

They started as special edition sneakers modeled on Marty McFly’s high-tops from Back to the Future II ​in 2011, but thread-by-thread Nike’s self-lacing sneakers are edging closer to something the average Joe could own.

Apple announced the Apple Watch Nike+ edition at its annual keynote in September and it’s slated to hit shelves on Friday, October 28. What can we expect from this running-centric smartwatch?

​Nike's newly-expanded European Logistics Campus covers 150,000 sq m (1.6 million sq ft) and allows the sportswear behemoth to serve its online, retail and wholesale customers across 38 countries from a single location. It also makes the firm more efficient, more responsive and more sustainable.

Nike today unveiled its first consumer-focused self-lacing sneakers. The HyperAdapt 1.0 trainers are aimed at those who have grown tired of double knots and bunny ears. ​​

True fanatics of the Back to the Future franchise will be rejoicing in the announcement of legitimate, bona fide, self-lacing Nike Mag high-top sneakers, as worn by time-traveling hero Marty McFly.

While many athletes resort to pouring a bottle of cold water over their heads to cool down after an event, Nike has something a little higher-tech in mind. The company's new hood prototype is designed to tackle the issue head-on, using liquid cooling to lower temperatures.

LEDs are being phased into use everywhere from living rooms to offices to car headlights to street-lighting. Whilst these uses are practical, for something a little more exciting we can look to Nike. Its House of Mamba basketball court uses an LED surface for graphics, video and player-tracking.
