Back From the Future

Nike began the "Back to the Future" design craze when they launched the Hyperdunk 2015 (above) nicknamed the "McFly." The craze continued when the original owner of the Nike Mag (middle) posted one of the shoes on eBaythat sold for $5,300. The Nike Mag was a full working prop that was inteneded to be used in the movie but the scene never materialized. The name comes from the magnetic properties the shoe was desinged to have. The complimentary Mattel Hover Board that was seen in the movie was also posted on eBay auditioning at $30,000. The board is unfunctional but is made from wood and metal and has a texturized paint job.
