Not much of a fan of hype trainers but this is on another level! The Nike Air Mag’s feature auto-lacing and are from 2015. Sound familiar? Yes you guessed it! They’re the shoes Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II!
Here’s the story, Nike filed a patent for auto-lacing shoes a while back, just to own the concept perhaps? The teaser video (above) has been knocking around, it shows inside Marty McFly’s closet, packed full of Air Mags. Just a few hours ago NiceKicks were lead to a hotel room containing a black box, in it a special invite – “IT’S ABOUT TIME…an unveiling that could change the course of time”, metal glasses Doc Brown famously wore in BTTF II as well as other related throwback and nostalgic goodies.
Really it can only mean one thing! We’ll go as far as to say that if this isn’t about a Nike Air Mags release we’ll be donating 100 hard earnt British pounds to the charity of your choice!

One for the DJ’s, Serato and their Whitelabel.net music label have given a fitting tribute to DJ A-Trak. The label’s first 1000 promotional custom picture disks will serve as a Serato control disc. On the graphical flipside will be the track “Say Whoa” with the excitingly visible “Mr. A” as designed by Dust La Rock. A product based on tradition, combined with recent movements towards digitisation, with a hint of creative flair and rolled in exclusivity.
Nike are doing it again for the Chinese “sneaker” heads (and anyone else wishing to jump on the bandwagon). The new Chinese year starts 26 January 2009, the Ox will reign and prosper once again.
