Nike’s power-laced ‘Back to the Future’ shoes will be available in 2016

"We started creating something for fiction and we turned it into fact, inventing a new technology that will benefit all athletes," says Nike CEO, Mark Parker.

Called the Nike Mag, the first iteration of the sneakers was released back in 2011, only without the self-lacing - or so-called "power lacing" - technology it’s equipped with now. The 2015 Nike Mag will make its public debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, with Marty McFly himself, Michael J. Fox, in appearance. He was gifted the first pair earlier today, and they look so awesome.

Anyone know how much those cost?
