Nike is to produce shoes based on a glowing pair worn by Michael J Fox in the film Back to the Future II.
A total of 1,500 pairs of the new Nike Mag shoes will be made and put up for auction on eBay, with proceeds being donated to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research.
They will be exact replicas of the shoes the actor's character Marty McFly wore a on a visit to the year 2015 in the film.
But unlike the fictional pair the Nike trainers wonââ¬â¢t lace themselves.
It hasn't gone unnoted by us that there is something special about that shoe and, of course, the movie, said Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield, who helped design the original film shoe and worked on the latest version.
Nike's version of the shoe has been long awaited by shoe collectors and movie fans, who have been urging the company to make them ever since the film was
released.
