Nike HyperAdapt 1.0
Nike HyperAdapt 1.0. The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 is the first self-lacing shoe made directly available for retail. The design of the footwear was executed by Tinker Hatfield accompanied by Mark Parker, who was heavily involved in the development. Utilizing an electro adaptive lacing system abbreviated as "E.A.R.L.", the sneaker technically autonomously conforms to the figuration of one's foot. On December 1, 2016, they were officially released in limited quantity for $720. However, due to the shoes being released in limited quantity at the time, they are now valued upwards of $200,000. The Hyperadapt has been released several times since the initial release date in extremely small quantities.

Helen and Frank Schreider
Helen and Frank Schreider. Helen (Armstrong) Schreider (born May 3, 1926) and Frank Schreider (January 8, 1924 – January 21, 1994) were explorers in the mid 20th century, known for traveling by amphibious jeep. National Geographic hired them after their first independent journey from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego (1954–56). They were the first people to travel the length of the Americas solely by means of their own power. They completed six additional expeditions through National Geographic, working freelance at first and later as foreign editorial staff, for fifteen years, from 1956 to 1970. They worked as a team and lived for periods of time in about 50 countries on five continents. Helen and Frank Schreider were known for their ability to write, photograph and film within the cultures they visited. They wrote three books, six major articles for National Geographic, and contributed to nine other books. They also made three separate nationwide speaking tours with their films.

They married in 1947, but it wasn't until February 1951 that they embarked on a belated honeymoon, beginning their life of exploration and adventure. With their German shepherd Dinah they set out in a jeep for a jaunt to South America, but four months later they were back, disillusioned and broke. They had gotten only as far as Costa Rica where they hit a "wall of mountains," as the Pan American Highway had not yet been completed.

Early Exploration Before the Schreiders could set off on another venture, they needed to raise money, so before finishing the jeep repairs they left for a two-year job at an air force base in Anchorage, Alaska. While there they expanded their dreams of adventure. They would start their journey at Circle, Alaska, the northernmost town in North America, and they’d travel to the end of Argentina to Ushuaia on the island of Tierra del Fuego, the world's southernmost town. This would be a journey of 20,000 miles.

Early Exploration The Schreiders started their journey from Circle on June 21, 1954, arriving in California a couple of weeks later where they continued to work on the rehabilitation of the amphibious jeep. Months later, christened with a Coke bottle, "La Tortuga," the two-and-a-half ton turtle was born. The craft was successfully launched in a calm bay in Los Angeles – making front-page news in the Los Angeles Times.

Helen and Frank Schreider. Early Exploration On January 1, 1955, they began the next phase of their journey. At the southern end of Mexico the highway gave way to 200 miles of oxcart tracks through thick jungle. Navigating this tangle of trees, vines, boulders and mud, with the help of local people and their machetes, they finally reached the wall of mountains in Costa Rica that had blocked them four years earlier. This time they turned to the coastline to go by sea but there was no calm bay to enter the ocean. They had to launch from the beach into twenty-foot waves, nearly ending their journey before it truly began.

They were then misled by a friendly fisherman to go inland on a small river to a supposed road, which turned out to be not a road but a railroad. In desperation, they drove 35 miles on the railroad, bouncing along the ties, which almost destroyed La Tortuga. Somehow they survived, got themselves to Panama City where it took Frank six weeks (and considerable expense) to repair La Tortuga.

The officer in charge of the Panama Canal Zone, Admiral Miles, tried in vain to dissuade them from entering the Caribbean. In parting, the admiral said that if they made it through the Caribbean to South America and Tierra del Fuego, he would recommend Frank to the Explorers Club.

To escape violent storms they sought refuge on islands inhabited by the San Blas Indians. Initially, these isolated people thought La Tortuga was a sea monster, but upon seeing the Schreiders and Dinah, they treated them with great hospitality. Finally they arrived on dry land in Colombia after a month at sea.

From the beach where they landed, a road building crew struggled to help them push and pull La Tortuga through an unfinished road to Ushuaia, finally reaching their goal on January 23, 1956. La Tortuga was the first vehicle to ever arrive on the island on its own power, for which it was issued an Ushuaia license plate #1. Only then were they able to reassure their families and friends back home that they survived their journey. Fortuitously, a few days later, an officer of the Argentine Navy invited them, along with the battered Tortuga, to board a freighter for Buenos Aires, and eventually they arrived back home in California on April 9, 1956.

After editing the film on their return, they were booked on a speaking tour throughout the US and parts of Canada. They would stand on stage (with Dinah of course) speaking on microphones, narrating the journey live, while the film played behind them. At one of the first such events at Constitution Hall in Washington DC, Dr. Melville Bell Grosvenor approached them and asked them to work for National Geographic. He wanted them to do more amphibious jeep expeditions to foreign lands. After their presentation at Constitution Hall, the nationally syndicated columnist, Ed Koterba wrote that "all other travel settings on the surface of this earth must be anti-climactic after the Schreider voyage" and that their amphibious jeep, "La Tortuga," should be placed in the Smithsonian Museum "right along with the Spirit of St. Louis and other dramatic symbols of ‘famous firsts.’"

Tortuga II was quickly ready and became their home as they traversed the Ganges River, through India over a five-month period, during 1957-58. Their lengthy article on the Ganges appeared in National Geographic in 1960.

Early Exploration After India, the Schreiders set off on their next expedition, this time, to Indonesia – for a challenging and dangerous 5,000-mile journey by land and sea from Sumatra to East Timor. Aside from the dangers of the journey, they were also subjected to the bureaucracy and military tension gripping the island at this time. Often the beauty of the landscape and people were offset by the arduous task of waiting for permission to travel. The grim soldiers they encountered were in stark contrast to the overall cheerful and welcoming Indonesian people. A detailed account of their thirteen-month odyssey is presented in their book The Drums of Tonkin. In 1990 excerpts from the book were published in Java: A Traveller's Anthology. They also published two major articles on their Indonesia trip in National Geographic, in 1960 and 1961. On their return to the US, they embarked on a speaking tour that included Canada, again narrating their film live from the stage.

Early Exploration After their Indonesian expedition, National Geographic hired the Schreiders as full-time staff, and sent them to explore the Great Rift Valley through Africa by Land Rover. Early in their travels they were invited to meet King Hussein of Jordan. Their journey is referred to in several sections of Linda Street's book Veils and Daggers: A Century of National Geographic's Representation of the Arab World. Afterwards, their pace increased, often leaving for the next journey before the last one had been published. From the Great Rift Valley, they went straight into their next expedition which was to follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great – 24,000 miles – from Greece to India, across the Middle East, again by Land Rover. Years later National Geographic used one of Helen's Alexander assignment photos of an evening desert scene in Iran in their book, National Geographic Photographs: The Milestones. Their next assignment was to survey the situation in Taiwan. In the course of this they interviewed Madam and Chiang Kai-shek in their home where they were living in seclusion.

Helen and Frank Schreider. Early Exploration Their last trip took them to the source of the Amazon River, where they built a wooden boat from an abandoned hull and named her "The Amazon Queen." Their new German shepherd, Balthazar, accompanied the couple as they managed to navigate and map the entire Amazon River, concluding that it was longer than the Nile. Highly enthused, they returned home to the National Geographic headquarters in Washington DC, but they were abruptly told by the head cartographer that he didn't want to see their maps and documents, adding, "Everyone knows the Nile is the longest river in the world" – and they were curtly dismissed. This led to further disillusionment with National Geographic, causing the Schreiders to resign from the company in 1970, the year that their book Exploring the Amazon was published. Years later, in 2007, Brazilian scientists claimed that the Amazon is longer than the Nile and therefore is the longest river in the world. So the Schreiders might have been right after all, 37 years earlier than the team of Brazilian scientists.

Their exploits are fascinatingly described in their new book, Exploring the Amazon, published by National Geographic (1970) . . . concluding that the Amazon, not the Nile, is the world’s longest river." Also Elizabeth Fagg Olds in her book Women of the Four Winds states that the explorer Annie Smith Peck found that Schreiders’ book Exploring the Amazon was "helpful as background on the debated question of the river’s source."

At first Frank began as a free-lancer, writing for many magazines, including Time, Look and Sail. Later he joined the U.S. Foreign Service and was sent to Mexico City to work for the United States Information Agency where he was the editor of Saber, their Spanish language magazine. Upon retirement he continued his love of sailing, which included crossing the Atlantic in his boat, Sassafras. The Schreiders shared one last adventure together in the fall of 1993 sailing for four months among the Greek islands. Shortly after, in January 1994 Frank suddenly and unexpectedly died of a heart attack while on Sassafras when it was moored at Crete.
