Get Involved: What will the future be like in 30 years time?
At the Bryn Mawr Film Institute, hundreds paid tribute to the infamous date Marty McFly and Doc Brown visit the future in “Back to the Future Part II”. Oh and don’t worry, these self-lacing beauties aren’t just a few slick marketing gimmick – they’re coming in spring 2016, which right now feels so close, yet so, so far away.
Nike have sent the first pair of it’s Air mag trainers, modelled on the hi-top shoes Michael J Fox wears in the movie, to the actor.
In the movie, which imagined how future lives would change drastically in the year 2015, Marty has sneakers with self-tying power laces called the Nike Mag. They asked a bunch of questions about the future and what has been invented shown in the Back to the Future movie. “It’s fun being me”, Michael told Jimmy.
And the 54-year-old star didn’t waste much time in responding to the message.
This isn’t the first time Nike has turned their Back to the Future fictional creation into an actual product.
Earlier in the day, Michael posted a video on his foundation’s Instagram page of him trying on the shoes.
Fox and Christopher Lloyd (dressed as their iconic characters) stepped out of a time-traveling DeLorean, disoriented, and wanting to know what Kimmel was doing on television.
Yeah, the second film predicted the Cubs to win the World Series in 2015. Self-lacing Nikes are the face of the future, don’t you think? The adventure concludes with Marty going West in 1990’s “Back to the Future III”: traveling to 1885 for the goal of saving the life of his friend, who falls in love with a schoolteacher (Mary Steenbergen).
“If my calculations are correct…your pair should be with you shortly”, Hatfield wrote in the letter to Fox.
