Nike's Back to the Future Shoes Aren't Self-Fastening
Nike got us all hot and bothered yesterday when it teased the launch of Nike Mags just like the shoes Michael J. Fox wore in Back to the Future. The company's Back to the Future-themed hints together with a 2010 filing for self-fastening shoes had us pretty damn excited. Last night, Nike pulled back the curtain to reveal the 2011 Nike MAG shoe and though it's a visual replica of Marty's shoe, they aren't self-fastening.

The link points to the Russian hockey players tragedy.

Re: Nike's Back to the Future Shoes Aren't Self-Fastening
To me it leads to a non-existant page now.
Here's one article: Nike's Back to the Future shoes fetch up to $37,000 "... But unlike the movie version, these shoes won't lace themselves. The self-lacing feature proved impractical as the design used in the movie required Fox to wear a battery pack with wires running down his pants. ..."

Re: Nike's Back to the Future Shoes Aren't Self-Fastening
i'm pretty sure the concepts of which that actually made it work 25+ years ago are considerably smaller and would indeed work if someone were willing to pay for it..
I've seen more amazing things then self lacing shoes
