Side note: Best comment on the Youtube page where this is posted - From gearsdan "I dont know how I did it, but I was finally able to masturbate to this video." Bravo.
UPDATE: Introducing the future of Nike Footwear. The 2011 Nike MAG shoes have arrived. 1500 of the famous, LED-electroluminescent shoes will be auctioned on eBay, Sept 8th - Sept 18th. All net proceeds from the auction sales will go directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
Bleeding Cool has reported the auctions go live at 8:30PST but there is currently no link to the account you should be watching. Keep it glued here for more info..until the auctions go live..then it's every geek for him/herself.
UPDATE #2: The NIKE MAG is no longer the “greatest shoe never made.” The mythical shoe that originally captured the imagination of audiences in Back to the Future II is being released – and they’re here to help create a future without Parkinson’s disease.
1500 pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG will be auctioned on eBay with all net proceeds going directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Each day for the duration of the ten-day auction, one hundred and fifty pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG shoes will be made available via eBay’s Fashion Vault. The auction starts September 8, 8:30PM PST, and will end September 18. Thanks to a previous 50 million dollar match given to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, all donations will be matched, effectively doubling the contributions from the auction.
The original NIKE MAG was worn by the Back to the Future character Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, in the year 2015. It came alive, lit up and formed to Marty’s foot. The 2011 NIKE MAG shoe was designed to be a precise replica of the original from Back to the Future II. The aesthetic is an exact match, down to the contours of the upper, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent NIKE in the strap. The 2011 NIKE MAG illuminates with the pinch of the “ear” of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge.

HA! So here's a link to the auctions, but be prepared to sell a body part. Kicks in my size start at 4k and are going up to 9k!! There will be no 1.21 Gigawatts on my feet this yr.
The address is being reported to be Nikemag.Ebay.com. I shouldn't be sharing this, because THAT SHIT WILL BE MINE!!!
ReplyDeleteAhem...
I wonder if you can write these off as a charitable donation...
I will write them off as a medical expense.
ReplyDeleteBecause if you don't get them, you'll die?
ReplyDeleteI think the most awesome thing is that it's for charity. I probably won't be able to score a pair, but it does me some good to know that it's because they won't make any more and that it's for a good cause.
Oh, and Michael J. Fox is going to be on Late Night With David Letterman tonight as well, presumably to promote the cause and the shoes.
