You Can Own Michael J. Fox's Self-Lacing Shoes from 'Back to the Future 2'

I wanted a pair of these shoes more than anything in world. Who didn't? Self lacing Nike shoes.  Marty McFly was so damn cool!

Now they could be yours!

Back To The Future producer Bob Gale mentioned recently announced they were auctioning off memorabilia from the movies at Profiles In History.  All proceeds go to charitable foundations like The Michael J. Fox Foundation in their fight against Parkinson's Disease.
This custom made Nike shoe was worn by Michael J. Fox as "Marty McFly" in Back to the Future II. When Doc Brown and Marty arrive in the year 2015, Doc asks Marty to put on clothes similar to Marty Jr. To help him pass for a contemporary teenager, Doc Brown gives Marty the latest in high-tech outerwear. The first thing he puts on is the self-lacing future Nikes.

This particular shoe was specifically made for walking around. Original future Nike 2015 self-lacing shoes are extremely rare and one of the most sought-after props from one of the most iconic Sci-Fi movies ever made.

These shoes are obviously very rare and that comes with a high price tag.  Estimated value of the show is between $12,000-$15,000 (Hover Board not included).
Head on over to Profiles in History to see all the awesome Back to the Future memorabilia available to buy.

Things I want to Wear But Can't - Nike Superman, Flash & Green Lantern Hightops

I know these are a little too bright, too Fitzgerald, too nerdy, too elementary, too Shaq, too geeky, just plain too much BUT I love them!

Here are the second in Nike's Zoom Huarache Trainer Superhero limited edition series -- which were designed exclusively for the NFL superstar receiver Larry Fitzgerald -- are due to hit specialty shoe stores this week, and feature a color scheme based on the Man of Steel himself. They follow last month's Flash inspired shoes, and precede next month's Green Lantern kicks -- which are easily the coolest looking of the bunch.

The shoes are going for $115 each and should be hitting your local hipster sneaker store today.If you've got hands of Larry Fitzgerald and the balls of Ray Lewis, these shows are for you.
