I’m a sneaker lover and one of my favorite movies of all time is Back To The Future. Coincidence? I think not! Marty McFly had the coolest shoes a kid could ever dream of.

"Your soles are ridiculous"

About a year ago, NiceKicks.com reported that Nike registered documents for “Marty McFly Nike Air Mag shoes” with the US Patent Office. Most laypeople thought this was utter nonsense, but sneakerheads across America kept their fingers crossed.

Now, one year later, Nike is preparing to release the new kicks as a fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

Magnificent
