Back For The Future - Nike Mag Auction Details (FINALLY!)

Damn!  This just keeps getting better!  Now we have Kevin Durant and Bill Hader promoting the Nike Mag?!?!  Even Chirstopher Lloyd shows up as Doc Brown in this one even though he hasn't been able to find a cure for old age in his time travels.  Dude looks like the Crypt Keeper now.  What the hell happened dude?

Anyway, more details have finally come out about the Nike Mag after the recent surge of Back 2 The Future videos over the past few days.  100 pairs of the Nike Air Mag will be auctioned off on eBay for the next 9 days (the auction started yesterday, September 8th). All of the net proceeds will go directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.  Very cool. 

The auctions are already running at $4K plus for each shoe so good luck getting a pair if you don't have at least $5-$10K sitting around for a rainy day.  I wish I was rich because I would love to get a pair but I guess it wasn't meant to be.  Hopefully a lot of athletes and rich folk get involved so they can raise some serious money for the foundation because regular people just aren't going to be able to play in this arena. 

It's too bad they couldn't release a slightly cheaper version (maybe without the lights?) as a general release so they could raise even more money.  I'm pretty sure there are thousands of people out there like me who would be willing to pay $250-$500 for a pair of these historic kicks.  Based on the buzz this shoe and auction is currently getting, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to do that down the road.  Maybe we will see a general release in 2015?!!?  Keep your fingers crossed.
