Back in 2011, Nike created 1,500 limited edition replica self-tying shoes from Back to the Future Part 2 to raise money for the Michael J Fox Foundation for the study of Parkinson’s and the whole world rejoiced. Finally people were going to be able to get a hold of one of the most iconic pairs of shoes in the history of cinema. However, things were not as they seemed and the shoes weren’t as self-tying as originally thought. They looked awesome, but you still had to do them up on your own. Almost $6 million was raised for a great cause through the auction of these shoes, so we can’t really complain.
