It's a very old meme... and not especially applicable here

Good question, but not in these shoes me think.
I have been further though, and looked way more like, but that was with Adidas.

Those people could just as easily buy slip-ons, which serve the same purpose while not requiring an app (or any other form of electronics, for that matter).

There are shoes that you don't need tho tie that don't need an app and most importantly are not from nike.
