so where are the Hoverboards at??? i want me a Pitbull !!

Yeah, I'm more concerned about the Hoverboards, I would spend the $300 on Mcfly's shoes if weren't for the millions of hipsters I'm going to see wearing them.

autolacing, haven't they heard that elastic already does a fine job for many a slip on shoe. I guess that i just don't get it. Sorry ladies.

I can understand why your not impressed. I heard Velcro are the national Aussie shoes of choice.

Exciting, but they'll cost WAY too much to actually be worth buying/wearing, and they'll probably be in limited supply so the prices will only get worse.

what with this:

I know what I'll be wearing for our yearly Puerto Rican gay pride parade.. Well I might find some hot socks too.

lol. u Bellend

i wonder how durable these will be... and will they be battery powered, or what?

bet they all break after a couple of months... and you can't wear them out when it's raining.

then you'll have a $300 pair of trainers that you can't lace up. and then that will become the next daft hipster style; wearing your McFly Nikey MAG's undone... and dragging your feet like some futuristic neandathal retard with a few circuits loose in their bionic implants.

i want a pair. they're well IDM

THE FUTURE IS NOW

Too bad everybody less than 40 y.o. in the first world is gonna be wearing them.

doubts it. they suck

1500 pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG will be auctioned on eBay with all net proceeds going directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Each day for the duration of the ten-day auction, one hundred and fifty pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG shoes will be made available via eBay’s Fashion Vault. The auction starts September 8, 8:30PM PST, and will end September 18. Thanks to a previous 50 million dollar match given to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, all donations will be matched, effectively doubling the contributions from the auction.

So are there more than 1500 pairs or are they going to keep making them? If there's only a limited supply, this shit will get super expensive.

they are apparently only selling 1500 pairs, on ebay.

150 pairs a day for 10 days

i dont know where i heard this but i bet its true

edit: beaten, but SEE? I WAS RIGHT.

lame

they don't even have power-laces

:(

They don't have power laces?

no mention of power laces, no video demonstration. nothing.

Those shoes are BANGIN'!

But seriously, they will go for easily 1000$+ each, especially with a charity tax return
