Turns Out Those 'Back to the Future II' Shoes Are for Only Our Richest, Most Charitable Nerds


From iwatchstuff, Well, I hope you weren't counting on picking up a pair of those Back to the Future II self-tying shoes. For one thing, you would look like a jackass in them. For another thing, turns out they don't even actually tie themselves. Also: Nike only had their child slaves make 150 of them, and they're being auctioned off on eBay to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, thus driving the price per pair well into the thousands. At least you can watch this video about them, starring Christopher Lloyd, Bill Hader, and Kevin Durant
