The 80′s, a splendid era… one of which I was born in and to this day enjoy the best that time offered. In ’85 the film Back to the Future was released… a film that produced in my opinion, an epic trilogy of flux capacitor proportions. Now it wasn’t until the second instalment that the movie francise produced one of its many iconic pieces, the Nike Tennis shoe… a revolutionary shoe that in 2015 could tie its own laces and had lights and looked fricken’ awesome! A shoe which was later dubbed the Air McFly was released under the name of Hyperdunk and shared an uncanny resemblance to shoe worn by McFly in the movie.
So as we all know by now… Nike has released the shoe from the movie, named the MAG. It sports the flashing lights that can run for 4 hrs off a single charge… no self tying laces, yet! that comes in 2015 remember. The shoe has been released in a limited run of 1500 pairs and all proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s disease research. On average they expect a pair to sell for $4000… thats the price you pay for the future. Hit up Ebay for bidding fun!
Also the shoe has come with an Awesome set of promo films… and here it all is for your viewing pleasure.
