Is Nike Manufacturing ‘Back to the Future’-Style Self-Lacing Shoes? [VIDEO]
When ‘Back to the Future 2′ premiered way back in 1989, its vision of 2015 was exciting: Marty McFly got to enjoy inventions like the hoverboard and self-lacing sneakers. The hoverboard has yet to fully materialize, but we can at least be excited that Nike might be manufacturing those shoes of the future someday soon.
A recently released short film titled ‘Marty McFly’s Closet,’ shows shelves upon shelves of the self-lacing Nike Air Mag shoes McFly wears in the sequel. And from the looks of Nike Kicks’ invitation to a BTTF-themed Nike event, they could be unveiling the sneaks tonight.
Check out the short and a clip of the shoes from ‘Back to the Future 2′ below:
