    Nike originally announced in October 2015 that it would sell some Back to the Future-esque self-lacing Nike Mags (in the photo). These futuristic shoes were designed in the image of the trainers that Marty McFly wore in the series "Back to the Future". Last year Nike were made in the limited edition. One pair was presented to Michael J. Fox who played Marty McFly.

    The HyperAdapt shoes went on sale December 1. One pair costs impressive $720. Sadly, except for a part of the sole that emits a turquoise light, these HyperAdapt shoes don't look much like Marty McFly's trainers in the film or Nike Mags. However, the self-lacing mechanism - the main feature of the futuristic shoes - is present.

    It's not so easy to buy the pair of trainers - the self-lacing shoes can be bought either through the Nike+ app or in the new New York brand's store. The company's representatives explained that they intend to sell more goods directly without retailers involved.

    The brand started working on the self-lacing mechanism ten years ago. HyperAdapt, according to the experts, would become the first version of what is called products of "adaptive replenishment" by Nike.
