For one lucky, anonymous person, 2015 will be coming much sooner than it will for the rest of us.
The person won an auction for the first pair of Nike’s Back to the Future, Part II inspired, self-lacing “Air Mag” shoes for $37,000, according to TMZ. Community star Joel McHale co-hosted the auction, which came to a heated competition between two shoe collectors. The winner also got a “plutonium case” to carry the shoes in. According to MTV News, the remaining 1,500 pairs of shoes will be auctioned off on eBay, with the proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s disease research. Fox, who played Marty McFly in all three Back to the Future films, went on The Late Show with David Letterman Thursday night to say that he was excited to see three groups of people get excited about the shoes. “The sneaker-heads who love sneakers, the Back to the Future guys who, believe me, are out of their minds, in a good way, thank God for them. And people in the Parkinson's community."
