The Future is here...If you can afford it.

If you're a Back to the Future fan you have probably already heard that Nike has released the self lacing shoe Marty wore in Part 2.


If you have not heard...guess what?


That's right kids, they're finally here!


Now let the soul crushing begin!

Yes, the shoes exist, the catch though is that only 1500 were made.  Every pair is being auctioned off here to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation.  Google and Nike are also matching up to 50 Million dollars to help the cause.  Obviously this is great for the foundation and people suffering with Parkinson's Disease, it's not so great for the majority of us that cannot afford $4,500 shoes.  Get a good look now....


In case you were wondering, No, they do not lace themselves.


Let's hope that when they start making hover boards they produce more than 1500...

  1. I've been waiting for 22 years for Nike to make these. And I was willing to pay upwords of $100 for a pair. But seeing how I need thousands more, I'll enjoy the photos.

  2. Even if it was a "donate $100 and we will put you in a drawing for one of the 1500." I'd do it, but $4,500 is insane! I'd rather put that towards a Dorean.
