The 2015 Back to the Future II Air Mag sneakers finally get power laces

Nike first outed Nike Air Mags back in 2011, the kicks worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future II, but it was missing a key component: power laces. Nike promised they would bring those to the shoes and this year on Back to the Future day (October 21, 2015) they have delivered. The new Air Mags look identical to the previous version but comes with a hidden powered mechanism that will automatically cinch the sneaker’s laces one you put them on. In case this runs out of battery, there’s a manual mechanism, too. But that doesn’t sound too futuristic, does it?

Of course, Michael J. Fox or Marty to the rest of us is the first to get the new kicks. The limited edition shoes will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The specific details on the auctions will be posted to Nike News and via Twitter @Nike in spring 2016. We’re not going to lie, we really, really want one. As for how much this will cost you, let’s just say a lot.
