Back in 1989, Back to the Future 2 predicted that we would have self-tying sneakers by now and we thought they got it wrong. That all changed today, on Back to the Future Day, because Nike created a special pair of Nike Mag for the movie’s star. Michael J Fox modeled his special kicks and they are cooler than Pepsi Perfect.
Only negative, is the sound it makes when they tie. It sounds like someone slowly letting the air out of a balloon or a baby crying when they are half asleep.
So what if the sound doesn’t bother you like it bothers me, and you want to own a pair. They will be available next year. Before you get too excited, only a few pairs will be auctioned off. Before you get too mad at Nike, they are donating all the proceeds to Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. You can’t stay mad at them for long.
Plus, give it a year, someone will walk into the Shark Tank with their own version of the self-tying shoes and another person will pitch the Hooverboard.
