Made popular by the sleek, minimal design, attractive lights, and the unheard-of 'self-tying' laces, the Nike MAG has been one of the premiere holy grails for sneaker collectors. It was a futuristic concept in 1989, the year of the film's release, but wait... it's 2014! A year away from 2015, when Marty McFly actually wears the hi-top sneaker in the series.
Check out what legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield had to say in an interview with solecollector:
"Are we gonna see power laces in 2015? To that, I say YES!"To which shoe the power laces will debut in is still a mystery although the rumors of the Nike MAGs re-releasing in 2015 has always been around. You may remember when the shoe actually went into a small scale production of 1500 pairs, selling solely on eBay in 2011. Proceeds went to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, eventually raising more than 6 million.
Say what you will about the shoe, but I'm looking to own a piece of history when these return to the market!
