![Nike Unveils Self-Lacing "Marty McFly" Shoes [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/00rZQGD00HNGd0RtvJy06Az/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647020228.jpg)
Nike has introduced a self-lacing shoe known in sneakerhead circles as the "Marty McFly shoe" because it seems to be based on technology previously only seen in the Back to the Future movies set in 2015.
The introduction of Nike Air Mag was reported by sneakerhead blog Nice Kicks which displayed an invitation to a Los Angeles-based press event on Thursday along with the video above called "Marty McFly's Closet," which was posted Sept. 6 and already has more than 63,000 views on YouTube. Nike confirmed the launch on Thursday with an event featuring Back to the Future star Michael J. Fox. Nike announced that 1500 pairs of Air Mags will be auctioned on eBay, with all net proceeds going directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is aimed at finding a cure for Parkinson's Disease.
Nice Kicks has previously run the following document from the U.S. Patent Office explaining how the self-lacing system works.
