If you’ve been on any sneaker site—or pretty much any website within the last week, you know the biggest news in the footwear world is the Nike Mag. Despite all the hype and steady flow of Mag stories this week, Back to the Future Day came and went without any kind of release of the self-lacing version of the famous shoe. We did get to see Michael J. Fox himself try on a pair along with confirmation from Nike that they’ll release via auction in early 2016,, but the day was a bit of a disappointment for many fans of the Mag. In this edition of Top Stories of the Week, we’ll review all of the biggest Nike Mag news, along with all the other notable headlines from Nike, adidas, ASICS, and even Li-Ning who debuted Dwyane Wade’s latest signature shoe. Continue reading to get up to speed on any sneaker stories from the past you you may have missed.
THE NIKE MAG 2015 ARRIVES
With Back to the Future Day coming and going with no Mag release, it seems pretty apparent that Nike’s self-lacing technology just wasn’t quite ready for an October 21st release, as the shoe will now be auctioned in early 2016. But at least we did get a first look at the Mag, with Michael J. Fox debuting the shoe on Twitter and later that night on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
