After Nike’s underwear-moistening sneak peek at the Back To The Future Air Mag, this promo video and the shoe’s official website went live today. Sneaker freaks and die-hard BTTF fans are going to be so bummed seeing as only 1500 pairs were made and they’re only being sold on eBay, where bids have already reached $8,000. But, they need to check themselves before they start freaking out and complaining that it’s unfair, because all proceeds are going to Michael J. Fox’s Parkinsons foundation. 150 pairs will go up every week for the next 10 weeks, so if you’re loaded, or don’t mind re-mortgaging your home, do your bit for charity and live like Marty McFly.
What is the Back to The Future Air Mag
The Back to the Future Air Mag is a limited-edition shoe created by Nike Inc. It is a replica of a shoe featured in the film Back to the Future Part II.
The shoe was originally released for sale in 2011 and again in 2016, both in limited quantities. The 2011 release was limited to 1,510 pairs, while the 2016 release was limited to 89 pairs.
The shoe features light-up panels and self-fastening laces. However, the 2011 version lacked the self-lacing function. The shoe was released through charity eBay auctions. The auctions aimed to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
The Price of the Back to The Future Air Mag Shoes
The price of the Back to the Future Air Mag shoes varies depending on the release and the year. The original Nike Mag Back to the Future replicas from 2011 can fetch anywhere from $7,500 to $10,000 on the resale market.
The 2016 version, which features self-lacing technology, had a retail price of $2,300. However, due to their limited availability and high demand, resale prices for the 2016 version can range from at least $24,000 to $50,000 and up.
Additionally, at auction, a pair of the shoes sold for $52,500, making it the most expensive shoe sale at the time. The price of the shoes can vary significantly based on their rarity and the specific release.
