Michael J. Fox Tries Out the Auto-Lacing Nike Mag **Video**
As promised by Tinker Hatfield four years ago, Nike has successfully developed a self-lacing version of the Nike Air Mag. What better person to test the sneaker out than Marty McFly himself? Released yesterday, here’s a first look at Michael J. Fox testing the sneaker’s auto-lacing feature out. While details on the sneaker’s self-lacing feature have not been given, it sounds as if each sneaker is operated by some type of actuator, connected to the laces.
It may have taken 26 years, but this is not only an incredible feat for Nike, but for the sneaker industry as a whole. Hopefully after these release, this feature will be incorporated into other sneakers.
Don’t expect to get the Nike Mag in stores, however. According to Nike, “The 2015 Nike Mag is a limited edition release. It will only be available via auction, with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The specific details on the auctions will be posted to Nike News and via Twitter @Nike in spring 2016.”

Utilizing a mostly white base with Maroon accents and graphics, this pair proves that simple works best. Of course, don’t forget the icy clear sole.
The Air Jordan VI Maroon is scheduled to hit stores on December 5. Unfortunately, it will also succumb to Jordan Brand’s next price hike to $220. Considering that many sneakerheads have been waiting 20+ years for this re-release, don’t the extra charge to slow down sales.

Nike LeBron 13 “Halloween”
Using the Nike LeBron 13 as a canvas, Nike has created the perfect sneaker for slasher film fans, and just in time for Halloween. It starts with a simple white base with metallic silver accents. The bottom takes on a more violent theme, thanks to the application of a bright red splatter pattern on the midsole and a portion of the icy clear outsole, clearly resembling blood. A similar pattern has been placed on the lace tips as well. A black and red swoosh provides the finishing touches to the gory design.
An official release date has not been announced as of yet, but expect the sneaker to drop sometime closer to Halloween.
