Wow, I have no words to describe the awesomeness of this if true. Now they just need to work on those hoverboards...

Probably because they now have the technology to make them, unlike in 1988 or whenever.

Well technically the movie never insinuated that those shoes came out in 2015, they were just around then for Marty to wear. I wonder if the Cubs will win it all in 2015 too haha.

Because since 1988 we've learned that the world is going to end in 2012?

Nice ploy by Nike to get 1500 idiots to pay 100X more than the shoe is worth.

Nike has announced that all of the pairs will be auctioned on eBay ... with all of the proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation ... which helps fund research on Parkinson's Disease.
You obviously didn't read the article.

I would gladly overpay if it were some lame pop culture fad. No way I'm doing it if it is just for a goddam charity.

lol at the FAQ in the auctions
Q: DO THE 2011 NIKE MAG SHOES POWER-LACE?
No. For the power-lace feature you will have to wait until 2015.
