xTK-421x writes "Looks like Nike is announcing tonight (8:30PM PST) that they've finally been able to create the self lacing shoes from Back to the Future 2. TechCrunch reported on receiving an invitation to a Nike event taking place in Los Angeles today, where Nike would announce the release of the Air Mags, the self-lacing shoes that first made their appearance in Back to the Future II."

    It would be cheaper to hire sweatshop labourers to follow you around and tie your shoes as necessary.

    Looking forward to the Cubs winning the World Series too.

    Probably the same value as pumps, air, shox, lights, neon, pockets, gels, etc. About $50 on the pricetag. Value!
