So Nike released their Back To The Future shoes (The 2011 Nike MAG) last night during a special event here in LA that I was rudely not invited to despite 1. being right up the street and 2. Nike knowing good and well I'm down to one shitty pair of flip-flops.
The bad news: they're not as cool as I was hoping, don't auto-lace, and are limited to 1,500 pairs total which will only be sold on eBay (150 pairs/day through September 18th) and already passing $5,000/pair.
The good news: all net proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation to fight Parkinson's, and all donations to the foundation through the end of the year will be matched (up to $50 million) by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki. Now that -- that's cool.
