The 1 Item From Back to the Future II You May Finally Get to Own

Oct 21 2015 - 11:00am

We may not ride around on hoverboards or travel in time via DeLorean [1], but one item from Back to the Future II could soon be in your possession.

On Oct. 21, 2015 — the exact date Marty McFy travels to in the sequel film — Nike confirmed to Mashable [2] that the first pair of self-lacing sneakers were "in NYC." Say what?! Kicks that tie themselves?! It's about freakin' time!

Similar to the model Nike released back in 2011, the futuristic shoe will be available via auction, and all proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox [3] Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Look through to see and watch a video [4] on these too-cool sneakers and prepare to embrace the future [5]. It's — quite literally! — now.

Just think: these self-lacing kicks can soon be yours thanks to Nike.

They're just so similar to the ones from the movie!

A futuristic model was also released for a limited time in 2011, benefiting The Michael J. Fox [6] Foundation.
