FINALLY: Nike Is Going To Sell Those Self-Lacing 'Back To The Future 2' Sneakers This Year

Nike has confirmed it is releasing Marty McFly’s self-lacing, light-up sneakers from "Back to the Future" to the public in 2015, Nice Kicks reports.

Speaking at the #AgendaEmerge conference in Long Beach, California, this week, Tinker Hatfield, who designed the Nike MAG sneaker Marty McFly wore in the 1989 film "Back to the Future 2," said his team is working as hard as possible to release a line of the "power lace" shoes this year. No details yet on pricing, but given that they actually lace up by themselves, they are unlikely to be cheap.

The release date is a poignant one: 2015 is the year to which Marty McFly and Doc Brown are sent in the film.

It's not the first time Nike has attempted to bring the "Back to the Future" shoes into the 21st century. Back in 2011, Nike auctioned off 150 pairs of the self-fastening, glowing sneakers to raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Winning bids reached more than $5,000.
