Marty McFly's Power-Lacing Nikes Finally Due For Release in 2015

It seems like the Back to the Future version of the future is one step closer to reality as Nike's lead designer Tinker Hatfield has been hinting at the release of the fabled power-lacing system - as seen in Back to the Future 2. You'll remember that a few years ago Nike release 1500 pairs of BTTF inspired shoes for a charity auction, but those did not have the best feature from the movie, the power laces. But alas, it seems like the genius's at Nike have finally figured it out and are due to unleash the real deal on us soon enough. Bam!

Nike have announced the power-laces that tightened up Marty McFly's hi-tops in Back to the Future Part II will become a reality by 2015.

The character played by Michael J Fox in the 1985 installment of the trilogy sported a pair of Nike trainers as he skateboarded around Hill Valley.

But when the time-travelling teenager arrives 30 years in the future in Part II, released in 1989, the brand had made a few changes.

Fans of the film gawked at the grey trainers that automatically tightened and adjusted to fit his feet.

But it was the self-trying "power laces" that made cinema-goers gasp and the fantasy footwear became part of cinema history.

Until now.

Designer Tinker Hatfield has confirmed the power laces will arrive to mark the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future and the year the second film was set in.

Speaking to Sole Collector at the Jordan Brand Flight Lab in New Orleans, Hatfield said: "Are we gonna see power laces in 2015?

"To that I say yes!"
