Nike is going back to the future.
Nike has created a limited-edition shoe based on the glowing pair that appeared in the 1989 movie Back to the Future II.
Nike Mag is designed to be an exact replica of the fictional sneaker, including a glowing Nike name on the strap. But unlike the movie version, these shoes won't lace themselves. Bummer!
Nike will release 1500 pairs of the 2011 Nike Mag sneaker for auction on eBay and donate all proceeds to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research. Fox famously played Marty McFly in the Back to the Future time-travel trilogy, where he wore the shoes during a visit to the year 2015.
"It hasn't gone unnoted by us that there is something special about that shoe and, of course, the movie," said famed Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield, who helped design the original shoe and worked on the latest version.

Marty McFly
This is Marty McFly.
For 5 weeks, this was Marty mcFly.
We grew up loving the film BACK TO THE FUTURE, but can you imagine, if Marty had not been played by Michael J Fox? Well, Eric Stoltz was originally cast in the role and actually filmed for 5 weeks, before the filmmakers had to make the hideous decision that he really wasn't Marty. Here they explaining what went down. Quite fascinating really!
