Have you ever heard of shoes from the future? If your answer to that is no, then I present to you the Nike MAG.  The shoes are considered possibly the rarest, most desirable and unique sneakers ever made majorly because of its wide range of fans and design. In the 1989 movie “Back to the future”, Marty McFly time travelled to the year 2015, and the self lacing shoes he wore was a pair of the Nike MAG.
Nike would then take it upon themselves to bring the futuristic shoes to life in 2011 when they released 1500 pairs. They would later release another 89 pairs in 2016, these released pairs featuring the futuristic self lacing technology that made the film so popular. Michael J. Fox received the very pair of the Nike MAG, and all the proceeds made from the online sale went to his foundation for Parkinson disease.
