Great Scott! Marty McFly's Air Mag Sneakers Are Real

Great Scott! Marty McFly's Air Mag Sneakers Are Real

With three years yet to go, Nike has busted out Marty McFly's 2015 Air Mags. Photo credit George Kiel III/Nice Kicks. Just 22 years after we first saw a glimpse of the shoe of the future, Nike has at last made the Air Mag, the self-lacing, light-up sneaker worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future II. It's not the first BTTF shoe Nike has made, but its certainly the one closest to the movie-prop original, and was designed to be an exact replica.

The Air Mag is also Nike's first rechargeable sneaker. The shoes have a electroluminescent “Nike” panel on the strap, and LEDs glow from the sole and heel.
