"Sportswear manufacturer Nike has applied for a patent for a pair of automatically lacing trainers. The papers filed with World Intellectual Property Organisation outline a product similar to that sported by Marty McFly in 1989 movie Back To The Future Part II. &amp;quot;The automatic lacing system provides a set of straps that can be automatically opened and closed to switch between a loosened and tightened position of the upper,&amp;quot; the abstract of the filing states. &amp;quot;The article further includes an automatic ankle cinching system that is configured to automatically adjust an ankle portion of the upper.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, inventor Blake Bevin, who has manufactured her own prototype for self-lacing shoes, claimed that her product will not be affected by the Nike patent. &amp;quot;I have my doubts that Nike will be releasing anything close to Power Laces in the near future and I believe my project can fill that niche,&amp;quot; she told Electricpig. &amp;gt; A pair of new &amp;#039;Back To The Future&amp;#039; trailers "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
