Nike MAG Shoes Sold Off to Nike Shoe Fanatics

If you want to pick up a pair of the infamous Nike MAG shoes from the movie Back to the Future II, while helping out a cause that is looking to end Parkinson’s disease, then you need to start looking for the 1,500 pairs that Nike has decided to release in the past few months. The Nike MAG shoe, which made its famous appearance in the movie, has been replicated by Nike for sale, and has the same contours in the upper of the shoe, the famous glowing panel of LED lights, and even the strap of the shoe with its electroluminescent material, so that Nike fans and Back to the Future fans can both get an authentic pair of Nike MAG’s. 

The story about the sale of the Nike MAG shoes first broke on Youtube, which is fitting considering the futuristic nature that sites like Youtube must have seemed to those living in the 80’s and it caused quite a stir among Back to the Future fans, and Nike fans alike. Nike decided to invite faithful Nike shoe collectors to the announcement of the sale of these limited edition Nike MAG shoes, and announced that 1,500 of the Nike MAG shoes would be sold to Nike collectors and fans around the world.

The shoes that were featured in the movie have had fans attempting to replicate them for years, some with more success than others, but it takes a famous and established company like Nike to replicate the Nike MAG shoe just right, so that it imbibes the spirit of a true Nike shoe, seamlessly blending this with the futuristic look and cool gadgetry aesthetic of the shoes Michael J. Fox wore in Back to the Future II. With their smooth grey exterior, their LED light fixtures and their other futuristic features, Nike has certainly hit the design spot on, and this beautiful design will allow Nike, in conjunction with Michael J. Fox, to raise money for all of those who are currently fighting against Parkinson’s disease, in a quest for the cure.

While these shoes were recently auctioned off on Ebay, if you are a true Nike shoe fanatic and collector, then you still may be able to get your hands on them. Looking online to get a pair is the best thing you can possibly do when you are looking for a pair of the Nike MAG’s, as well as other retailers who sell collectible items and rare Nike shoes like the Nike MAG. While there has been no further talks as to if they will actually reissue any more pairs of the Nike MAG shoe at a later date, there are likely many Nike collectors out there who would be interested if Nike ever did decide to issue another run of the futuristic and highly collectible Nike MAG’s.
