According to NiceKicks.com, which has additional pictures and video of the shoe, the shoes themselves will be sold on Nikemag.ebay.com, with proceeds going directly to the Michael J. Fox foundation, the foundation set up by the actor who played Marty McFly in the original Future trilogy. Word of the Nike Air Mag surfaced earlier today. One interesting aspect: so far, no one has yet to confirm that the high-top shoes (which actually look more like snow boots than anything else) actually self-tie or self-secure, as the original shoes featured in the movie do.



Nike representatives did not return calls asking for comment, even though PC Magazine was one of the few technology publications around when Back to the Future Part II debuted in 1989. "The original NIKE MAG was worn by the Back to the Future character Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, in the year 2015," Nike's Web site says. The 2011 NIKE MAG shoe was designed to be a precise replica of the original from Back to the Future II.

However, the shoe appears to be designed as close as possible to the original footwear, even going so far as to include the glowing LED "Nike" logo and lights in the heel of the shoe. "We wanted to translate the excitement people have for the 'greatest shoe never made' and for the Back to the Future into positive action," said Mark Parker, CEO of Nike, as quoted by NiceKicks. As any child of the 80's remembers, the "Nike Air Mag" was a futuristic prop that was sold in 2015, part of the setting for Back to the Future Part II. The second part of the trilogy, which also starred Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Emmett Brown, involved visiting the future to save the future children of McFly and his future wife, Jennifer.
