Nike Makes Marty McFly's Automatic Lacing Sneakers From Back to the Future 2!
If you watched Back to the Future 2, then you most certainly were envious of Marty's futuristic shoes that auto-laced. Well my friends Nike has finally made the future a reality. Click the jump to watch the video of Nike Air Mags.


Nike filed a patent for this invention in 2009, but this is the first sign that Marty's shoes from 2015 will be making their debut very soon. The shoes will carry the same name as the did in the film, Nike Air Mags. The news is still just breaking, Nike must of let some information slip though. Kevin Durant recently tweeted that he needed new shoes and finished the tweet with, "Think McFly Think." While today, one of the producers of the trilogy eluded to big news coming on the Back to the Future front, and then just tweeted the video below.


Frankly, if this is real, I'm buying a pair.

EDIT:Trying to fix the darn youtube link, but it won't work, just click on the website.

Power laces, all right!

The fanboy market alone (yours truly included) should be enough to make these pretty damn profitable.

Everyone has problems with it because Youtube always adds bullshit after the video ID like &feature=related. Honestly, the mouseover text for the youtube button needs to be amended to include a brief instruction to remove everything after the video ID.
どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

This might just make up for the absence of hoverboards. I was promised hoverboards, dammit. :wink: 8)

Bad news guys, the Power Laces version won't be out until 2015. Worse news, these are a limited edition, and they're up for auction on EBAY.



Good news? They're going to be auctioned off for Parkinson's research.

So, four years and they'll actually sell the real thing?

You guys do realize that there isn't a power laces version of these shoes coming out, right? The 2015 date is an obvious reference to the second movie. I doubt that anyone's come up with a way to make power laces work, although I suppose it's more likely than them releasing the hoverboard then.

Tinie Tempah won the first pair for $37,000. Fuck, I'm never getting a pair.
