89 pairs of the BTTF Nike Mag sneakers are up for raffle
Along with the recent announcement of the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0, Nike is releasing 89 special pairs of the famed Back To The Future self-lacing sneakers (a year after "the future" in the movie).
To enter for a chance to win one of these rare 89 pairs, you have to head on over to Nike.com/mag and pay $10 per entry. Each ticket benefits the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's research.
Here are a few people trying on these battery-powered self-tying shoes. Charging required.
The importance of storytelling in 'Back To The Future'
Back To The Future is one of the best film trilogies of all time. That's a fact. And I've watched a million dissections of this film and each one is always so enjoyable because ultimately the dissections are talking about a good film in every way (whether it's set creation, directing, storytelling, or Easter Egg hunting). Here's yet another one I just came across. This one is about how storytelling, joke setup and punchline, are critical to the way Back To The Future plays out. Without it, BTTF would fail miserably. Thankfully, the jokes and the punchlines are perfect in every way.
Nike HyperAdapt are the modern self-lacing shoe from Back To The Future
This is really cool (and only a few years late from the anniversary of BTTF). But I really can do without the stupid lights. I mean, c'mon. LIGHTS?! What year is this? These lights do not look cool. They look stupid. Put this self-lacing tech into something that doesn't light up and you've got me sold. Also, no charging capabilities based on walking? WHAT A WASTE. This was a half thought out product.
