FAQs
How often do I need to charge the Nike Adapt Auto Max?
The frequency of charging depends on usage. With moderate use of the lacing system, a full charge can last several days to a couple of weeks. It's recommended to charge them when the battery indicator in the app shows low power.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the shoes are made with durable materials, the electronic auto-lacing mechanism is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to prevent potential damage to the internal components.
What does the 'Infrared' refer to in the name?
'Infrared' refers to the distinct bright red color used on the semi-transparent rubber sole and other accents, a color famously used in other iconic Nike Air Max models.
Are these shoes heavy due to the technology?
The technology adds some weight compared to a standard trainer, but Nike has worked to integrate it efficiently. The Air Max cushioning also contributes to the overall feel, aiming for a balance between technology and comfortable wear.
What is the Nike MAG inspiration?
The Nike MAG is a highly sought-after, futuristic shoe from the movie 'Back to the Future II' that featured self-lacing technology. The Adapt Auto Max incorporates similar design cues, particularly the lacing system and strap aesthetics, as a tribute.
Can the lacing system be adjusted manually?
Yes, besides the app, there are buttons integrated into the shoe's midsole that allow you to manually tighten or loosen the fit.
What comes in the box besides the shoes?
The package for the Nike Adapt Auto Max 'Infrared' includes the shoes, a charging cable, a power adapter, and a MEDICOM TOY designed Auto Max doll.
Troubleshooting
Auto-lacing system not responding
Ensure the shoes are fully charged. Check the charging cable and power source. If paired with the app, try restarting the app and re-pairing the shoes.
Shoes won't tighten or loosen
Verify the battery level. If the battery is low, charge the shoes. Try manually adjusting the fit using the buttons on the shoe. If the issue persists, check the app for error messages or contact support.
App connection issues
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. Ensure the shoes are charged and within range. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the Nike Adapt app.
Uneven lacing on one shoe
Reset the lacing system via the app or by holding the power button for a sustained period (refer to app/manual for exact procedure). Ensure both shoes have adequate battery charge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Charging: Before first use, charge the auto-lacing system. Connect the included charger to the charging port located on the shoe (typically near the heel or midsole) and plug it into a compatible power source.
- Pairing (Optional): For advanced control, download the Nike Adapt app. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your shoes via Bluetooth for finer control over tightening/loosening and firmware updates.
Compatibility:
- The auto-lacing system is controlled via buttons on the shoe or the Nike Adapt mobile app (iOS and Android compatible).
- The charger is designed for US outlets as indicated by the product description.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the mesh and electronic components.
- Lacing System: Do not attempt to disassemble the auto-lacing mechanism. If you encounter issues, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use.
- Water Exposure: Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the electronic components.
