Nike's self-lacing 'Back to the Future' shoes are reportedly set to hit store in 2015, its designer has revealed.

The fictional Nike Air Mag sneakers from Back to the Future Part II became a reality in 2011, when Nike auctioned off 1,500 pairs to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

According to The Verge, the shoes featured a glowing LED panel, an electroluminescent Nike logo, and a battery that kept them lighted for five hours between charges, but ironically they didn't lace themselves automatically like in the movie.

However, Nike designer Tinker Hatfield has suggested that the dream shoes with power laces might be on their way in 2015.
