Nike MAG Back to the Future (2016)

Nike MAG Back to the Future (2016). Since Michael J. Fox‘s Marty McFly first strapped up a pair of Nike MAGs in 1989’s Back to the Future Part II, sneaker lovers have been enthralled with power-lacing technology. The MAG is of course most known for its self-lacing build, but its signature mixture of grey and blue is famous as well.

This 2016 version features the adaptable electric lacing system, produced only 89 pairs, these sneakers are among the most sought after in the world. Surrounded by mirrors and seemingly perfect lighting to coincide with its futuristic theme, the Nike MAG is surprisingly light and comfortable. It is easy to assume that a silhouette with such technology would weigh you down or force you to compromise comfort for the appearance, but this is not the case with the Nike MAG 2016.

Presented here is the replica of the original pair worn in the film, including the LED lights! The Nike Mags were produced in a limited series of 89 pairs. Packaged in deluxe presentation boxes, were sold exclusively by Nike at live auctions around the world. Described by Nike as being “precise replicas … down to the contours of the upper, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent NIKE in the strap,” they actually had one difference; additional foam support in the ankle and toe box for increased comfort.
