Beijing time on the morning of September 16, it is reported that whether it is your most comfortable sneakers or the most fashionable sneakers, there will be a pair of shoes in our wardrobe that will have a nervous breakdown if you lose them. At present, a Nike robot innovation technology can extend the life of people's favorite shoes!

The fashion giant launched a durable Robot Simulation Lab (B.I.L.L.) in Nike City, London, England. The new robot is used to clean and repair shoes. Noah Murphy-Noah Murphy-Reinhertz, head of sustainability at Nike NXT, said: "although this technology is very advanced, maintaining old products is a very private thing. Because of personal preferences, they will spare no effort to maintain their favorite shoes. Repairing products is a way for products to expand user memory, and we think B.I.L.L." Robots can do this. "

B.I.L.L. A robot-enhanced system that uses water-based cleaning products and recycled polyester patches to bring new life to old shoes, it can currently extend the life of four Nike shoe models: Air Force 1s, Air Jordan 1s, Space Hippie 01s and Nike Dunks.

Consumers can visit the robot in Nike City, London, and put shoes in the machine, but only one shoe at a time. During maintenance, the robot first creates a three-dimensional digital model of the shoe, which helps to identify the fine areas of the upper, side and sole that need to be cleaned.

After that, the robot began to work, using water-based cleaning products and car washing rotary brushes for deep cleaning. Nike issued a press release saying that advanced digital readings help the robot take more accurate care of the fine parts of the shoes. When the shoes are clean and beautiful, customers can choose patches to repair the worn uppers, thus giving the shoes a new look. Finally, the inner lining and shoelaces made of recycled materials are added to the shoes.

"Robots can do things that are difficult for humans to do by hand, but when we use robots as part of recycling technology, we still want to be able to provide personalized services," Renez said. "

The robot technology will be available in London's Nike City in September, after which Nike will decide whether to promote it in more stores around the world. Nike said B.I.L.L. Robots have a specific goal of experiment-to achieve a circular and environmentally friendly future, the future of product manufacturing is re-use and production, and is given the performance of new products.

It is reported that this is not the first time Nike has launched future technology products. In 2019, the company launched "Marty McFry" style automatic lace-up sneakers. Nike Adapt BB shoes are designed for basketball players, and the laces can be tightened or relaxed automatically by pressing a button on the shoe or smartphone. The shoes, initially sold only in the United States, sold out for $350 and sold out immediately after they went on sale.
