NIKE MAG a.k.a. The Back to the Future Nikes

[sauga_kid]

For the shoe heads out there, Nike has teamed up with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research and released the Nike MAG (the Nike's from Back to the Future 2). 1500 pairs have been made and are being auctioned off on ebay (bids are nearing $6K :whoa) with all proceeds going to the Foundation. On top of that, Sergey Brin (co-founder of google) has agreed to match up to $50M generated from the shoe sales and donations between now and the end of the year. Not the nicest of shoes but cool for the 80's kid in all of us and a good cause.

Q: DO THE 2011 NIKE MAG SHOES POWER-LACE?
No. For the power-lace feature you will have to wait until 2015.

[SonicBoy]

LOL I guess they have to work out that power lace. Maybe it was cutting off people's blood circulation. Cool feature if it will exist.
