Michael J Fox on the set of "Back to the Future II" (1989)

Back to the Future was not a great movie - but it did introduce the world to the the self-lacing Nike Mag shoe worn by Michael J. Fox's character, Marty McFly. The movie was set in the year 2015, and the shoe would come to life, light up, and form to Marty’s foot. Sure, the shoe seemed like a piece of sci-fi fantasy - but Nike actually made this particular footwear item come to life in 2011. The 2011 Nike Mag shoe was designed to be a precise replica of the movie version. 1,500 pairs of the once mythical shoe went up for auction on eBay - with proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research.
