Tying your shoelaces are out, Nike Go FlyEase is in
Why you should care: If you’ve never understood the hype with shoelaces, then these Nike Go FlyEase sneakers are just the pair for you.

Inspired by Matthew Walzer, who was born with cerebral palsy, the shoe is meant to not only be convenient but also accessible. Find it here.
