Today is a very important day for fans of the Back the the Future trilogy. Today is the actual day Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and Jennifer arrive in the future. 4:29pm Pacific to be precise, all of the movies now officially take place in the past!
My favorite announcement today was Nike's 2015 Mag sneakers with "power laces"! 30 years in the making, Nike hand delivered a pair to Michael J. Fox himself. In 2011 Nike released a version of the shoe, no power laces and all pairs were auctioned off via ebay. All proceeds went to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, raising almost 5 million dollars! Check out the 2011 model and story here.
Details and specs on the sneakers are pretty scarce at this point. Seems as though more news will be announced through social medias as we get closer to spring. We were left with this from Nike's site:
"Availability
The 2015 Nike Mag is a limited edition release. It will only be available via auction, with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The specific details on the auctions will be posted to Nike News and via Twitter @Nike in spring 2016. "
