Back to the Future Nike Mags

Auctioned by Sotheby’s online for US$88,200

Getting your hands on a pair of self-tying Nike Mags from the hit movie franchise Back to the Future used to be the stuff of pure fantasy, up until 2011. Nike finally released 1,500 pairs to the public to benefit The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and it became one of the brand’s most popular and talked-about releases. This particular pair, which comes fitted with Back to the Future II’s signature power laces, features two signatures by actor Michael J Fox, which explains why it so easily outstripped its pre-auction top estimate of US$50,000.
