So, Transport Canada chose to mark “Back to the Future Day” by issuing an advisory on the official government website used to announce recalls and other safety alerts, warning people of a problem with the time-travelling vehicle.

Nike sent him a pair of Nike Air Mags on Wednesday to prove that “Back to the Future” got everything right… well, except our cars aren’t almost as cool. But those did not have “power laces” that automatically tighten the shoe’s grip on your foot like what was portrayed in the movie. The pickup gets a black paint on and a dose of KC HiLite tires, just like the original vehicle that was driven by Michael J. Fox in the first movie. “The shoes will be auctioned off, and the beneficiary once again will be the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research”.
If you want a pair of 2015 Nike Mag’s they might end up costing you.
“We started creating something for fiction and we turned it into fact, inventing a new technology that will benefit all athletes”, Nike President and CEO Mike Parker said.
In a handwritten letter, legendary Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield teased the actor.
The shoe giant originally released its ” Nike Air Mag” kicks in 2011 that were based on the futuristic shoes Marty McFly wore in Back To The Future II.
“It kind of gives us a chance to create that magic of when we were kids and kind of compare how they thought the future was going to be to how it really is”, said Dan Mattatics of Scranton.
The fans say no matter the date, even when the future is in the past, these movies will remain popular.
