Back to the Future trilogy producer Frank Marshall tweeted earlier today saying, "Something big is coming soon. Can't say anything yet. No one should know too much about their own destiny. #BTTF" and soon followed that up with a link to a video featuring several racks of shoes similar to those worn by Marty McFly in the 1989 feature.
Nike sounds ready to unveil the self-lacing sneakers they patented back in August 2010. Nike sent out an invitation to a very lucky few for an event tomorrow night that promises “an unveiling that could change the course of time.” The contents of the package also included the futuristic glasses Doc Brown sported in Back to the Future II as thinly veiled clue about what to expect.
Looks like 2015 comes a few years early as the shoe dubbed the Nike Air Mag will soon become a reality. Yes, you will now be able to purchase a pair of auto-lacing shoes you can tuck your jeans into and will go half-way up your calf.
According to a post at Nice Kicks we should expect an official announcement by tomorrow.
