When Marty Mcfly rocked a pair of never seen Nikes on Back to the Future<\/em>, the sneaker culture pined for a chance to own a pair. After 20 years of anticipation, a lucky few received a yellow oversized box with no barcode, style number, or MSRP visible. Inside of the box, were the Nike MAG.<\/strong> MAG stands for Magnetic Anti Gravity, which suffices for the amount of attention drawn to the “most popular shoes in history”. Those who own a pair are almost considered an elite society. One year ago today, Nike<\/strong> officially unveiled this one of a kind shoe, and the hype around them spiked to astronomical levels. Sneakerheads everywhere clamored for a way to get their hands on a pair, and celebrities became the source of envy as they showed their pair off via social networks as rumors of exorbitant payments being made for a pair made the rounds. The best thing about the shoe is there was an auction held surrounding them that raised money for Michael J. Fox<\/strong> Foundation for Parkinson?s Research in honor of Marty McFly himself. Check the video below for the story behind the Nike MAG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Back to the Future<\/em> inspired shoes illuminated in dark, and had a much higher build than the average shoe. The shoe still turns heads and drops jaws like none before or after. Anyone who owns a pair has undoubtedly answered ?how did you get those?? more than a fair amount of times. With only 1,510 pair made, do you own a pair? Do you know anybody who does?
