Overlooked is that they apparently finally invented the glasses you can't see through. Self lacing shoes...pshaw. I think we know the real achievement.

Where's my fvcing hoverboard!

Yeah, eff the shoes, Mattel actually said "we're working on the hoverboard" when the film came out.

Though I do know a certain someone who will most probably end up with a pair. Wearing them will be pure nirvana.

Poker players would buy them in droves.

Wow. The shoes are just props. They don't lace themselves and they cannot be worn as shoes. Fail.

Q: DO THE 2011 NIKE MAG SHOES POWER-LACE?
No. For the power-lace feature you will have to wait until 2015.

So, then, um, what are the batteries powering now, in 2011?

I think that's just a reference to the date in the film and not a real intent to deliver on Nike's part.

They filed a patent on a self-lacing technology about a year ago.
