You do know the mags in the movie weren't motor driven right? The laces were pulled down manually
Got me thinking of this. Gotta love the 80's
Uhhh Yeah of course. I think every one knows that by now and that there was no motor driven shoe in the 80s. I meant the fact that they don't fully sense the foot when you step in them like DEPICTED in the movie, no upper power lace & still have to "push" on stuff with fingera. They did what they could with MAGs and called it good. Lol i mean, im not complaining, something is better than nothing as far as MAGs go
And yeah, those dang tapes...
I was Queen Fix a Tape
Meanwhile, where is Polo with the answers we have questions to?
I heard "hand" delivery...true? Is it gonna be like the commercials of Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes showing up at your door with a camera crew ballons & all?

I wonder why there was no involvement from Bob Gale and the BTTF camp this time.
In 2011 they had a big campaign with BTTF spots and the Chris Lloyd / Tinker Hatfield commercial. Now there was only Nike and when talking about this project, the name BTTF was never mentioned. Tinker Hatfield and Tiffany Beers only used the words "inspired by robots and movies" and "it started as a myth from a movie".
Maybe Bob Gale was asking for too much money for using the brand? Nike wanted that all proceeds go straight to the MJF foundation but with the help of Universal and BTTF they would have created way more attention, even after being one year late. For THE shoe of the movie its crazy that no BTTF hype was created.

TOO BE HONEST, THIS RELEASE CAME AND WENT AS SIMPLY, "MEH". YOU CAN EVEN TELL FROM THIS THREAD. IT WAS LIT FOR LIKE 2 DAYS THEN GHOST TOWN. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SHOE WHICH COULD SWING THE HYPE BACK IN NIKE'S FAVOR FROM ADIDAS AND IT PASSED BY WITH MINIMAL HYPE AFTER THE INITIAL RUSH.

Funny I was having this same conversation with my boy who said adidas has the hype. I honestly don't think Nike cares and I'm not siding with Nike by saying that I think that they are just chalking it up to "trendy" hype.
I compare a sneaker like the nmd to the flyknit remember how those were going? Nmd hype will eventually die down... and when enough yeezys are out people won't care so much.. prices already dropping after each new release.
Fact of the matter is nike don't really care about hype.. they got Jordan coming off the bench whenever they need 40

Maybe cause people didn't have unrealistic expectations after the last release.. think the only people mad were people who had money tucked away waiting to drop 5-10 stacks at auction

I think if these were a retail item the hype would've been more. We had zero control over who got a pair. There were 89 pairs for random giveaway.

yeah, it was definitely strange that a shoe this monumental would be released with minimal hype/effort. it's almost as if they were just fed up with the production of the shoe and just threw out what they had and got rid of them as quickly as possible

" Sneaker News: What are some of the emotions going through your mind now that this incredible story finally comes to a close?
Tiffany Beers: I’m super-excited for the consumer to finally get to experience it now. We’re letting it go now…it feels really weird. On some level, I hope people protect it, because it was really hard to make. SN: It’s like sending your first-born off to college.
TB: Yea! It’s like, “you’re on your own now, behave”! It’s definitely a mix of excitement too, because I can’t wait for the HyperAdapt 1.0 to come out next month, but at the same time, the Mag is so special to so many. People have a real emotional connection to it.
SN: Now that the Mag is completed, is the book officially closed?
TB: I personally don’t think it’s going to live on forever (in production), because they’re very hard to make. I’m moving on to the HyperAdapt and I don’t think there are plans to make more Mags. It’s here, it’s a great experience, but now we’re ready for what’s next. "
Yeah, this interview further pissed me off. Screw the Hyperadapt. She talks about people having a real emotional connection to it, but they are going to stop because they are hard to make. The biggest shoe company in the world, and something is too hard to produce. Thats why the shoe would be expensive relative to other shoes Nike makes.
