Is Nike going to take us Back to the Future?

The rumour mill—well, maybe just the blogosphere—is buzzing that Nike is about to make the fictional self-tying shoes worn by Marty McFly in the Back to the Future movies a reality.

According to a blog post on the Washington Post site, the company has patented technology that could see the Nike Air Mag become more than just a prop. The rumour is the unveiling could happen tonight (September 8) in L.A.

So, for those of you who always thought there should have been a Back to the Future Part IV, this teaser video, posted by one "DocEmmettBrown88", is for you.
