Self-lacing Nikes from Back to the Future 2 becoming a reality?
Posted: Saturday, August 28, 2010 by Admiral Snuggles in Labels: butts, moviesMan, Back to the Future is one of the greatest movies of all-time. But you know what? Back to the Future 2 is even better because not only does it have most of Back to the Future 1 in it, it also has FUCKING SHOES THAT LACE THEMSELVES!!! With the 25 year anniversary of Back to the future upon us, a lot of cool things are showing up on the web in honor of the film's anniversary, like FUCKING SHOES THAT LACE THEMSELVES becoming a reality.
MSNBC is reporting that the popular footwear company Nike has filed a patent for a self-lacing shoe that resembles the sneakers from BACK TO THE FUTURE II that practically everyone with a soul wanted.
According to the patent, "the automatic lacing system provides a set of straps that can be automatically opened and closed to switch between a loosened and tightened position of the upper. The article further includes an automatic ankle cinching system that is configured to automatically adjust an ankle portion of the upper."
It sounds pretty good to me. We now have only five more years till the 2015 in Back to the Future 2 becomes real. So not only can we look foward to self-lacing shoes, but also Pizza Hut pizzas that cook in 5 seconds, hoverboards, and Jaws 19. Considering there are only 4 Jaws movies available right it looks like the next few years are going to be pretty Jaws heavy.
