The Nike Mag is one of the most iconic sneakers ever made. It was brought to life from the 1989 classic film “Back to the Future Part II.” The shoe, designed for Marty McFly’s futuristic journey, was finally released to the public in September 2011. This special release captured the essence of a future imagined in the ’80s. Fans of sneaker culture and the film have celebrated the Nike Mag ever since.

The Nike Mag stays true to its cinematic roots with a futuristic design. It features an electroluminescent Nike logo on the strap and LED lights that illuminate the midsole and heel. Though it lacks the self-lacing tech from the movie, its design made it an instant grail for collectors. Only 1,500 pairs were made, and each was auctioned on eBay for a good cause. Proceeds went to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, supporting Parkinson’s research—a cause close to the film’s star, Michael J. Fox.

In 2016, Nike took it further by releasing another version of the Mag with self-lacing technology, called “Adaptive Fit.” Limited to just 89 pairs, this edition solidified the Nike Mag’s place in sneaker history. It became a symbol of progress and conceit.
