SHOEMAKER Nike has teased the release of its famous Back to the Future self-lacing trainers, wore by Marty McFly in the 1989 classic film.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you were a kid of the 80s, you probably thought Nike Air Mag self-lacing trainers were the coolest thing EVER.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Marty McFly donned the futuristic footwear in hit movie, Back To The Future Part II.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, some 30 years on we might finally be able to slip these tech trainers on our feet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the self-lacing trainers haven’t arrived fresh from the DeLoren, instead Nike teased footwear fans by sending a tweet to Back to the Future actor Michael J Fox. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tweet cryptically read "see you tomorrow".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The news comes after <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/hoverboard-warning-latest-christmas.html">Australian police celebrated Back to the Future day by using REAL hoverboards to patrol</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course this isn’t a guarantee that Nike is about to release its tech shoes, but they certainly appear to be in a sharing mood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In an effort to keep intrigue levels high Nike has refused to unveil what else it has planned for Back to the Future Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It should be noted that this is not the first time we’ve seen Nike self-lacing shoes.</div>

Earlier this year, Nike designer Tinker Hatfield suggested that Marty McFly's futuristic shoes might be on their way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He teased: ”Are we gonna see power laces in 2015? To that, I say YES!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To boost your excitement levels even higher we suggest you watch this clip of the shoes in action, and prey that Mr Hatfield is telling the truth.</div><iframe width="640" height="378" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/liI1E_ZZV5w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The 2015 Nike Mag will be available for a limited time only via auction. All proceeds will go to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Nike says it will release the date of the charity auction on Twitter in Spring 2016 – plenty of time to start saving those pennies.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Nike last night delivered the shoes to their rightful owner – Michael J Fox – in the ultimate nod to Back to the Future fans.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
The firm tweeted a video of the Hollywood star trying on the shoes.</div>
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Watch the moment Michael J. Fox tries the 2015 Nike Air Mag – </strong></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nike previously made a limited run of Marty McFly’s Nike Mags, back in 2011. However the fund-raising footwear used old-fashioned manual laces.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some 1,500 pairs of the trainers were produced with each pair being sold via auction. A total of $6 million was raised for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Film fans knew the innovative lace technology was always on the horizon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div><blockquote class="twitter-video" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Michael J. Fox models the first self-lacing <a href="https://twitter.com/Nike">@Nike</a> Mag <a href="https://t.co/bgPWM5CKBE">pic.twitter.com/bgPWM5CKBE</a></p>— michaeljfox.org (@MichaelJFoxOrg) <a href="https://twitter.com/MichaelJFoxOrg/status/656929718084739072">October 21, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Commenting on the unveiling of the iconic shoes, Nike President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Parker: “We started creating something for fiction and we turned it into fact, inventing a new technology that will benefit all athletes.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The shoe packs a battery-powered mechanism that automatically cinches the trainer’s laces tight. Fortunately there is also a manual solution should your shoes run out of juice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The shoemaker says it will continue to test and tweak the technology found in the shoe, so with any luck this won’t be the last we see of the game-changing trainer.</div>

According to records Nike applied for a patent to license “automatically lacing trainers” back in 2010.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It read: "The automatic lacing system provides a set of straps that can be automatically opened and closed to switch between a loosened and tightened position of the upper. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The article further includes an automatic ankle cinching system that is configured to automatically adjust an ankle portion of the upper."</div>
