Last year we got some crushing news (or not?) when we explored the possibility of getting our hands on a functioning hoverboard by 2015 as promised in Back to the Future II. Earlier this month we learned you could soon get the opportunity to at least pick up the proper shoes even if the Hoverboard is still on the drawing board.
On Sept 6, Nike dropped this vague teaser showing a giant closet full of the futuristic Air Mag sneakers as featured in the film.
Buzz starting picking up and it was soon revealed that Nike planned on auctioning off the shoe in limited quanities on eBay. The proceeds will go to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
With the first pair going for an insane $37,000—the cloeest you might be able to get to these kicks is this video below featuring SNL's Bill Hader and of course Christopher Llyod (as Dr. Emmett Brown). Unfortunately, these bad boys aren't self lacing... yet.
