Greatest shoe never made goes on saleworld

LOS ANGELES: EVERY kid dreamed of having a pair of shoes like Marty McFly, the laceless, auto-strapping hoverboard footwear from the classic film Back to the Future II.

Now, more than 20 years after the film was released, Nike has released a limited edition of the glowing sneakers, reports The Australian.

While autostrapping is not a feature, more than 300 people have snapped up the shoes online, as part of a charity auction in aid of actor Michael J. Fox's charity for Parkinson's disease.

Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991, just two years after the release of the film.

 Nike said in a statement, "The Nike Mag is no longer 'the greatest shoe never made'. The mythical shoe that captured the imagination of audiences is being released."
