“Immensely disappointing”: Nike killing app for $350 self-tying sneakers (arstechnica.com)

It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.

Interesting to know. I've been buying running shoes and wearing them everyday. I don't even run or jog really. I guess I could be buying sneakers and they might end up more comfortable? At the rate I wear through shoes though, my current ones will probably last another 5 years.

A good sneaker will virtually always be way more comfortable than a good running shoe. To risk going with an extreme analogy, it's like trying to hammer a nail with a sledgehammer - it will get the job done, sure, but it's absolutely not made for that.
