Is This Nike's Functioning BACK TO THE FUTURE II Powerlace Shoe?
The photo above was tweeted out by Max Erdenberger, a former art director who worked the at advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy in Portland. Nike is a client of that ad agency. It came with the caption, "October 21, 2015." There's a chance that this is our first look at the fully functional version of Nike’s long-awaited Back to the Future II powerlace shoes.
Earlier this year it was reported that Nike was working on the shoe and they even applied for a U.S. patent complete with their plans for the “automatic lacing system.” They were hoping to have the shoe completed by the end of the year, and it looks like maybe they actually accomplished it!
When October 21st rolls around, I'm expecting an official announcement that Nike has done what a lot of Back to the Future fans have all been waiting for. You can bet your ass I'll be buying myself a pair!
