Nike’s ‘Back to The Future’ Marty Mcfly’s Air Mag RETRO Shoes Climb Above $3,500 A Piece!!!!

The limited-edition, Back to the Future-inspired Nike Mag must-have shoes quickly climbed above $3,500 in the first night of bidding, with some models topping $4,000.
But the shoes are not self-tying, a promotional video confirmed.
Nike unveiled the Air Mag at an event in Los Angeles on Thursday, after a teaser sent shoe aficionados and geeks drooling. Only 1,500 pairs of the Nike Mag will be released, 150 per night for the next ten nights, making them the latest must-have geek item. Who cares about the iPhone 5?
The shoes themselves are being sold on Nikemag.ebay.com, with proceeds going directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the foundation set up by the actor who played Marty McFly in the original Future trilogy. Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, and his wife Anne Wojcicki, co-founder of personal genetics company 23andMe, are matching up to $50 million in funds raised by the Foundation between now and December 31, 2012.
Although the price for each pair of Nike Mags was originally set at 99 cents, buyers quickly pushed up the bids to above $2,000 per pair in just over 20 minutes. The shoes are available in men’s sizes, from 7 to 13. Expedited shipping is free, and the auction is only open for U.S. residents.
eBay’s rules allow shoppers to purchase up to 10 pairs. New auctions start at 8:30 PM PT each night.
“You are looking at the rarest of Nike Footwear,” the item’s description reads. “For 22 years they have existed only in the year 2015 on Marty McFly’s feet. Today they are finally a reality.
“Famed Nike designer Tinker Hatfield and footwear innovator Tiffany Beers have returned to recreate the footwear legend,” the description adds. “Based on an original movie prop used in Back to the Future Part II, the 2011 Nike MAG shoes have been entirely rebuilt and perfected.”
The shoes feature an electroluminescent outsole, Nike notes, plus “space-age materials” and a rechargeable internal battery good for 3,000 hours. The shoe appears to be designed as close as possible to the original footwear, even going so far as to include the glowing LED “Nike” logo and lights in the heel of the shoe. Don’t expect to light up your neighborhood court, though. They’re not recommended for playing sports.
And no, they don’t feature the self-tying laces featured in the original movie, even though Nike patented the self-lacing design.
A newly-released promotional video, with Christopher Lloyd reprising his role as Dr. Emmitt Brown, sees Lloyd entering the “Lone Pine Mall”‘s shoe store in search of some new shoes.
“Does this power-lace?” Lloyd asks.
“Not ’til 2015,” a Nike employee responds.
Lloyd then sets the Delorean’s time circuits to Sept. 8, 2015. Until then, shoe and sci-fi geeks will have to make do with Nike’s version.

Dr. Conrad Murray Wants His Jury Sequestered Because Of Casey Anthony

Dr. Conrad Murray, who is currently on trial for the death of Michael Jackson, is asking that the jury overseeing his case be sequestered. It seems that Dr. Murray is fearful the jury’s opinions of the case will be swayed by the mass amount of media coverage and he wants to ensure he’ll get a fair trial.

When his lawyer brought this motion before the judge, he cited the trial of Casey Anthony as an example of how the media can sensationalize a trial and make it difficult for jurors to judge objectively

Will Smith Working On New Album, May Get New Film

There was a time, not so long ago, that Will Smith was the brash young star, selling millions of records and crossing over to charm audiences on television and in movies. The former Fresh Prince has spent the past few years ensuring that his two kids, Jaden and Willow, followed in his footsteps, and now, a few hair whips and karate kicks later, he’s back to working on his own star.

Already in the midst of production on the third “Men In Black” film, word is that Smith is headed back to the music studio, as well.

“We’re working on Will Smith, bringing him back. That’s actually him on the other line right now,” Lamar “Mars” Edwards told XXL Magazine by phone in a story that ran Thursday.

Having printed hit after hit in the late 80s and early 90s as part of the Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince duo, and then branching out into his own hip hop pop career with hits such as “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” and “Miami,” Smith hasn’t put out an album since 2005′s “Lost and Found,” which touted his return to rapping and hip hop, as it had been three years since he had released an album.

In addition to the recording, word is that Smith is in early talks to join another new film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Night at the Museum” director Shawn Levy is working to secure Smith for a lead role in his remake of the 1966 sci-fi adventure movie, “Fantastic Voyage.”

Although the absence hasn’t been quite as pronounced as his musical interlude, Smith hasn’t appeared in a film since a pair of pics in 2008, “Seven Pounds” and “Hancock.”
