It’s official!

Since speculation rose yesterday from mysterious tweets from Nike and employees, we can confirm that the Holy Grail itself, the Nike Air MAG, will be releasing in Spring 2016!

The internet has blown up with images for Michael J Fox, star of Back To The Future from which the shoe was originally designed for, wearing the first pair.

In the movie, Marty McFly puts on the Nike Air MAG and Power Laces automatically tighten to secure his foot in place. There was speculation as to whether this pair would have the same feature… take a look at the video below courtesy of AGTV and see or yourself…



Tinker Hatfield had a huge role to play in designing the shoes for the movie. In a heart felt letter to Michael, Tinker describes their journey and how profits raised will go towards curing Parkinson’s Disease, which the Back To The Future Star suffers from. The letter reads:


 

Hey Michael,

Almost thirty years ago we embarked on a journey to create a glimpse into “the future”. Although the project started as science fiction, we’re now proud to turn that fiction into fact. As the first, most celebrated wearer of the Nike Air Mag, we wanted you to be the first to receive a living pair. I meant ‘Nike Mag’ (I must have air on the brain!) What is so special about the Nike Air Mag is its impact continues to resonate. We may never know its final legacy, but we continue to work on projects that carry and progress some of its principles. As you well know innovation never stops at Nike so we’re excited about what lies ahead for this idea. We know if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. In Addition To Your Personal Pair, We’re Creating More Pairs For Support In Aid Of The Michael J. Fox Foundation In 2016. We hope that the combined effort will raise even more than the $9.4 million collected in 2011 and contribute in some way to eliminating Parkinson’s Disease in our lifetime!

Your Friend,
Tinker

PS If my calculations are correct… your pair should be with you shortly

If all this Nike Air MAG news wasn’t enough for you, an image has surfaced from Nick DePaula, showing how when the model was originally produced in 2011, am all white wear-test pair were also made… could their be an all-white version in the future? Let’s hope so!
