Nike Mag 2016 Teaser 620x348

Roughly a year ago, Nike and Michael J. Fox unveiled to the world the first-ever power-lacing Nike Mag sneaker, the futuristic footwear relic that appeared in Back To The Future II. After the huge unveil via Twitter and later on the David Letterman show, Nike announced that a limited number of the self-lacing Mag will be auctioned off in Spring of 2016. That season has come and gone and to the dismay of many, the Mag never surfaced as promised.

Today, Nike sent a rather cryptic tweet to Michael J. Fox, reading “Excited For Tomorrow”. This, at the very least, signifies some sort of update on the Mag. Will Nike reveal the shoes in detail? Will we get a release date? Will the actual auctions go live? Only time will tell, so stay tuned for updates throughout the day.

Update: Nike confirms that the power-lacing Mag will release on October 4th. It is not confirmed if it will release via auction. However, all proceeds will go toward the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
