Since #BackToTheFutureDay has been a viral through out the social media on 21st of October 2015, we have seen many videos and postings about the tech and inventions have been shared out from the movie itself.

From the movie: when Marty try out the power-laced Nike shoes for the first time.

In Back To The Future Part II which was released 26 years ago, Michael J. Fox‘s character Marty McFly, gave us a glimpse of how things would look on October 21st, 2015.

And even though the future according to the movie may have not been fully accurate, Marty’s power-laced Nike sneakers are indeed a reality.

While Nike did release the Mag in 2011, that version didn’t use the self-lacing technology we saw in the movie.

But don’t worry, Nike has confirmed that the actual Marty McFly shoes are coming in spring 2016.

Yes, it’s next year guys!

Tinker Hatfield, Nike’s VP of creative concepts and the man who designed the Mags, also sent a letter to Fox saying, “Although the project started as science fiction, we’re now proud to turn that fiction into fact.”

“The first pair of self-lacing Nike Mag shoes is in New York City,” a Nike representative said to Engadget early Wednesday.

As for where exactly the limited edition sneakers are, well, interestingly enough, Fox is scheduled to be a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live show.

Yes, this means the 2015 Nike Mag is likely going to make its debut on the show — and it looks like Fox is already wearing the pair. Naturally, there’s no word on pricing, but in similar fashion to the originals, they will be sold at auction to benefit the The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research.

What’s more, Nike says the “power laces” tech is only in its infancy, calling what these Mags feature a first iteration of it. The company added that it is currently testing this across a wide range of sports, as it wants and hopes to bring it to other footwear in the future — at least in areas where it makes sense.

“By imagining the future, we create it. Product that comes alive, with on-demand comfort and support when you need, product that senses you and adapts to you is right around the corner.”
