You’re going to see some serious s**t.
In terms of cinematic cool, Michael J. Fox’s performance as Marty McFly in BTTF ranks alongside Steve McQueen in Bullitt, Samuel L. Jackson’s turn in Pulp Fiction and Michael Jordan in Space Jam.
Think about it. Marty could shred on the guitar, make Biff crash into a truck filled with horse shite and sweep Elisabeth Shue off her feet.
Principal Strickland’s favourite student also had a pair of Nike trainers and a hoverboard that we still want.
A few weeks ago we told you about Nike’s plans to create the self-tying kicks that were worn by Marty in the second instalment of the Back to the Future trilogy.
It seems that a little piece of 1985 has just been released into the present day, we presume Nike hit the 1.21 gigawatts whilst flooring the DeLorean to 88mph, because they’ve just released the runners.
Part shrine, part collectors item, the glowing box you see below is a special edition ‘Nike Mag Plutonium Case’ and the whole package has just arrived on eBay for a whopping $32,500.99.
Only 40 of the display cases have been made, each displaying a size 13 model of the legendary shoe.
Take a look.
