[lovemarie]

Michael J. Fox was obviously the first person to receive a pair

To celebrate Back to the Future Day, also known as the date Marty McFly travelled to in Back to the Future Part II, Michael J. Fox, who played McFly, revealed a picture of himself wearing a real-life version of the franchise’s iconic self-lacing sneakers:







Fox also tweeted a photo of a hand-written letter from Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, which says Nike is proud to make the legendary Air Mag sneakers a reality. He said the company will also make more pairs next year, with proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research:




Hatfield first hinted about real-life power laces last year. It’s still unclear if they’ll ever be available for mass consumption, but we can only hope. One day, this could be all of us:

::)wow... outstanding... that's a first... initially i think that would be expensive... i just don't know if this shoe design will create a craze like no other.... like a boxer's shoes so maybe Pinoy's will not love it and it's kinda warm in the Philippines cguro sa mga can afford pwede iyabang ang ganyan, sacrfice nga lang sa comfort cguro... nice share mam at ibang klase ang article mo na ito na nahanap...

awesome... that must run into thousands of dollars for a pair...  well reebok made the pump with yesterday's tech and with today's advancement, it will just need sensors to self lace the shoes...
