Nike Air Mag To Release in 2015?

| August 25, 2010 | Comments (63)

The shoe that many have been waiting for Nike to release just might be in the works as we speak. Marty McFly made the Air Mag famous in Back to the Future II. Since then people have always wondered if Nike would ever release the futuristic Air Mag sneaker with the automatic lacing system. Well, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization’s website, Tinker Hatfield and the Nike crew filed a patent for the automatic lacing system. Peep the abstract:

AUTOMATIC LACING SYSTEM
Abstract: An article of footwear with an automatic lacing system is disclosed. 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.

Is it possible that Nike will release the Air Mag in 2015? If they are staying true to the theme of the movie, the Air Mag should see a release in 2015. If Nike decides to release the Air Mag there’s no telling how much the shoes will retail for.

However, a shoe with an automatic lacing system will definitely change the game in the footwear industry. Will you cop a pair of the Air Mags if they drop? 2015 release? Only time will tell. Spotted at Nicekicks via DimeMag.

We will keep you updated, so stay tuned!

    adm! ineed these joints i saw this movie last nite

  3. A shoe with an automatic lacing system is something I’ve dreamed about, since seeing all the Back To The Future movies. It’s a really cool idea, if they can pull it off the right way. But a shoe with electronic stuff on it won’t be cheap. I would love to have a pair or two. But the price will probably be well over 200 bucks, and that’s kind of ridiculous. Not to mention every hypebeast on earth would be all over these. Still, it would be nice to see them get made. That way, something from the movies could actually come true. After all, Flying cars aren’t something you see every day, and nobody has perfected the hoverboard. So why not?

    DDDDDDDaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnn im a start a savings fund right now for a few pairs

  5. Eric says:

    Hell yes, this is every sneakerheads dream, automatic lacing, yesss! Will be very expensive tho. And I hope they make it available in more quantities than the usual exclusive release.

  6. John B says:

    this could be awesome

  7. Scotty Rock says:

    I’m scared it’ll do it too tight and f*ck up your leg//foot.

  8. K.billy says:

    LOL that’s crazy..I’d cop if that shit works

  9. Scotty Rock says:

    Sorry that was obscene.

    I’m scared it’ll tighten too tight and mess up your leg//and or foot.

  10. CenValCali says:

    I’d love to see these debut 1 day. Moon boots might be the new fad.

  11. Royal Swagness says:

    I want a pair. but with automatic lacing and electronic configurations in them you better not wear them in the rain unless they can make them water proof. they are going to be 3x or 4x the price of the air yeezys. Expect to pay a car note, electric bill, phone bill , and a snicker bar on these.

  12. J Flo says:

    i couldnt see nike not releasin them with such a hyped/cult following,esp wen it was set in 2015, i culd deff see nike releasin them, nd i wuld love to try my luck at copping, but theyll prolly be lik 250

  13. MelloYelloMD says:

    Yea they will be dumb expensive, but if I got it? Im on it lol

  14. MelloYelloMD says:

    Anyone else notice that all the states weren’t mentioned in the patent? Does that mean they wont be sold there? No NY, GA, TX, etc?

  15. Mr. King JD says:

    2015? GAS GONE BE $10 A GALLON AND THESE GONE BE $1000!

  16. Mr. King JD says:

    But ayyy that wud be crazy if they do release!!! lol I’d have to cop…but not for a stack tho. I’d do $300 to $400…

  17. Hye Style Kid says:

    It would be wonderful to see an actual product though as said before it probably would be very expensive but you know what thats one shoe that if I had the money for it I would buy no matter the price

  18. Alexthagr8 says:

    One of the THE reason’s why I’m in the shoe game. If they droppin them….. then then that is the only kicks I’ll need EVER…..bump, bump(drops the mike and walking towards the sunset)

  19. C Brown says:

    Here is the funny thing….For YEARS… dudes been signing Petitions to get these releases…Nike’s been teasing us with Colorways…Yeezy made kicks that looked almost like it…Sneakerculture has a white whale in the Nike Air Mags….If Nike WERE to release these…they would be setting themselves up for MAJOR disappointment….The truth is whenever you truly desire something…chasing it becomes more important then ever obtaining it….Its almost gauranteed that once you achieve that which you chase..your almost never happy with it..and wonder why you chased it to begin with….Nike Mags are okay at best..they look like Space Boots…Could you imagine a mall for a kids rocking Mags up to there knees….thats the day I retire and move on to chasing shoes…
    .
    On another note I dont think we will ever see these released…I think that Nike patented the idea just to keep another person (or company) from putting something like this out and patenting there own idea and suing Nike IF they ever released….(Nike always got there third eye open)

  20. CARTER says:

    IF THEY DROP, I COP… PERIOD!!!!!

  21. CARTER says:

    on another note if this was NBA JAM, GROC would be on FIRE right now…LMAO! GOOD SH!T PIMP!

  22. ceez says:

    damn i was watching i carly with nices and than after that was the movie on nick lol deff would buy even if they retail for 500

  23. JuZ4KicKSnGigglZ says:

    would people like that idea on fusions?…..

  24. 4DRUMZ says:

    There is NO AIR MAG PACK RELEASING! LoL… I wonder color the laces were in the pair that BRINX saw?
    .
    It will/would be stupid expensive but if Nike was smart they would strike now while the silly Yeezy-like trend is still popular!

  25. atgbryan says:

    lol @ Royal Swagness and hmmmmm sounds interesting, but these are def going to be way expensive and sell out in two seconds flat, with rape reselling

  26. jr_lyon says:

    Hey ceez, quit throwin ridiculous numbers out! We can’t give Nike any stupid ideas! I’d cop though!

  27. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
    .
    I WISH I WOULD BUY THIS FOOLISHNESS

  28. MelloYelloMD says:

    LOL@ Alex “If they droppin them….. then then that is the only kicks I’ll need EVER…..bump, bump(drops the mike and walking towards the sunset)”
    ^I pictured you wakling away with your hands in the air like “I retire”

  29. squeaky soles says:

  30. WHADDUP C BROWN. WHAT’S POPPIN HOMIE??

  31. C brown says:

  32. Brandan E. says:

    if these were to drop, it would take sneaker madness to the next level. all hell will break loose if these were to release.

  33. weezy23 says:

    interesting but dont know yet would have to see the price and look in person but could be fire!

  34. JEEZY says:

    340$$ easy

  35. Chevyboy says:

    If these release, Nike BETTER bring back the Air Pressure, Air Command Force, and the REAL Air Force 180!

  36. LG says:

    They can’t be serious..SMH

  37. j_collector says:

    i would just cop em and resale em like it’s nothin, their fuckin ugly but i know people will pay whatever to buy em

  38. Sdot says:

    I honestly Don’t know about these but its funny how much people hate on kicks on here but are all over these and I’m guessing they’d be around 300bucks anything more = rape

  39. CG says:

    It’s about time. With the whole Hyperdunk and Hypermax series coming out, which both resemble the Air Mags, I’ve always had a theory that Nike was putting those designs out just to test the waters and see if the world was really ready for the Air Mag, this right here proves me right. I’m definitely getting a pair when they release, but they’ve should’ve known that the world has been ready for these shoes since around 2005 lol!

  40. keith says:

    please nike.

  41. Smh says:

    Look at the hypebeast ready to suck d*ck for these smh. These joints are ugly yes the concept is cool but look how stupid they would look on your feet especially if you have big feet lol I can already see the line up for these even if they a gr!

  42. chas says:

    i agree with Converse king

  43. ECN says:

    I will definitely grab a pair. Just use the Nike Air Pressure Silhouette and replace the pump part with th auto lacer. Nike needs to strike while the iron is hot.

  44. MisterMcfly23 says:

    i think the only problem with these being produced will be how to keep the shoe from electrocuting you if they by some weird occurence get wet, or the lacing system starts malfunctioning and locking you into the shoe…id still cop tho…

  45. MR.SWAGGER says:

    this is funny because the movies been on tv for like 2 weeks. lol

  46. Jerronimo says:

    Looks like a 2015 Yeezy..lol… I think it will be kewl to see these drop. I remember drooling at the screen seeing these on McFly as a kid. We’ve come a long way with tech.

    I just hope the skinny jeans fad crumbles up and dies before these drop! I will cry if my son thinks that BS is kewl. (my opinion of course)

  47. Brandan E. says:

    aint no skinny jeans representin here, aint no way in hell. u can print that!!

  48. Chaz says:

    2015? Dagg Ima forget about em in a month =/

  49. FLiP says:

    these would probably retail for 250+ and hypebeasts will sell them for 600+
