When I first saw the shoes where Marty McFly’s wore in the movie, the first thing come in my mind is I hope in the future I can invent exactly the same shoes from the movie.

The 2011 Nike Mag is designed to be an exact replica of the fictional sneaker, including a glowing Nike name on the strap. But unlike the movie version, these shoes won 't lace themselves.
