On Wednesday the 21st of October 2015 was “Back to the Future” day. It is a trilogy about Marty McFly and Doctor Brown who travel 30 years into the future. They arrive into the city of Hill Valley CA, to save Marty McFly’s not yet born children. Fans worldwide have long awaited “Back to the Future Day”!
In order to celebrate this special event , the famous brand Nike has released a great model of the well known Nike Mag sneakers that Marty McFly wore. Even though the ones McFly wore in the movie were just props, these new releases are the real deal! These shoes have the ability to tie their own laces and the heels also light up and better yet, they can function without wires or a battery connected to it! How Awesome!
But this isn’t the first time Nike designer Tinker Hatfield created the original design. He has tried to introduce this shoe before, but in 2011 the version failed because although the shoes looked really good and exactly like the ones McFly wore, it had one problem, it didn’t self lace. However this time the company says that it has made the technology which can sense when the foot goes in and the shoe automatically tightens the laces! They also have manual controls just in case you wanna loosen or tighten the grip if desired.
Since the shoes are inspired by Marty McFly, it is only fair that the first pair be delivered to the famous Michael J Fox, the actor who played Marty McFly on October the 21st. The good news is that Nike are planning to release some extra pairs in 2016. The bad news is that these shoes will be limited edition and only available in auction. The Nike company also says that all the profits will go to the Michael J Fox foundation, which will help with the Parkinson's research. But it will probably be way too expensive for most of us. The only hope we have for ordinary Nike shoe buyers is that Nike will make their new shoe copyright so that they can put the shoes into “Ordinary Sneakers”, that we can all afford!
