We don’t have hoverboards, but “Back to the Future” fans may soon have self-lacing Nikes.
A cryptic tweet from the shoe company on Tuesday night said “See you tomorrow” to the Twitter account of “Back to the Future” star Michael J. Fox Tuesday night.
The “tomorrow” that the company was talking about is Wednesday, October 21, 2015, or the day that Fox’s Marty McFly travels to the future in 1989’s “Back to the Future Part II.”
“The first pair of self-lacing Nike Mag shoes is in New York City,” Nike told CNN.
The company wouldn’t go into details about the location of the shoes or even if the shoes were going on sale.
In the film, McFly tries on a pair of white Nike high-tops, known as “Nike MAGs,” that to McFly’s surprise self-lace.
“Power laces! Alright!” McFly says in the film.
However, Nike’s tweet had fans exclaiming “great Scott!” on social media over the possibility that the shoes are on the way.
Since the film’s 1989 release, the shoes have become a longed-for item for “Back to the Future” fans and sneaker enthusiasts.
The company patented an “automatic lacing system” in 2008.
