This is actually happening.
The fictitious Nike shoes that Marty McFly rocked in Back to the Future II, the self-lacing ones that a young me would describe as “totally sweet,” are going to be real.
Yes, it looks like the reports that Nike had patented self-lacing shoes weren’t just something made up on the internet.
Nike has apparently built said shoes, and plans on releasing them in 2015, which is this year. The news came from Nike designed Tinker Hatfield, who said there is no official release date yet.
