Frank Marshall, producer of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Poltergeist, and Back to the Future, caused a bit of a stir earlier this evening when he tweeted:
“Something big is coming soon. Can’t say anything yet. No one should know too much about their own destiny #BTTF”
This is of course a reference to Back to the Future, and nerds like myself went crazy with speculation. The trilogy hit BluRay last fall, so what could this mean? A theatrical re-release? A sequel? A remake?
Thankfully, the answer is a heck of a lot cooler. Devin Faraci over at BadassDigest got a tip from some sneaker bloggers* out there who confirmed that they were invited to a super secret Nike presentation tomorrow. And the invite came in the form of a certain famous visor:
Why would a sneaker presentation use Back to the Future iconography? Well, maybe it has something to do with this video that just made it to YouTube:
Yep. Ladies and gentleman, the Nike Mags from Back to the Future 2, those awesome sneakers that lace themselves, have become a reality.
Now all we need is for them to finally release the hoverboard.
*Geeze, I’m having a hard enough time explaining what an entertainment blogger is to people. Imagine the blank stares those guys get?
You so scared me there! My jaw hit the floor at the mention of ::shudder:: Remake aaaaaah!
But the shoes! Oh the shoes! Technically by the movie’s timeline, we’re about 4 years from the Hoverboard. eek!
