Great Scott! ?Is it 2015 yet McFly?
On a quiet summer day, a firestorm was created when we?received?word that patent documents filed by Nike were discovered protecting something many have hoped for. ?For years there have been petitions, pleads, and teases (see McFly Hyperdunks) of the Nike Air Mag, the shoes worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future II, making it to retail. ?The documents filed illustrated not only an onboard battery, lighting system, power laces, but even a charging station that gave movie buffs, sneakerheads, and proud geeks more than a glimmer of hope that one day the Nike Air Mag will make it to stores.
There has been no talk from Nike officially about a release date or if the shoes will ever make it to stores, but one can only hope. ?2015 is a few years away still, but you can bet that after the viral nature of the story spreading everywhere across the web, Nike saw just how significant these shoes really are.
