At one time the Nike MAG was considered to be the “greatest shoe never made”.  However, the 2011 Nike MAG has finally been released, fulfilling the dream of every sneakerhead in the process.

The MAG has already raised millions for the Michael J. Fox Foundation in hopes of finding a cure for Parkinson’s Disease.

See the full story behind this release in the video after the jump.

“This project is exciting to me because it brings together three very passionate audiences: the Parkinson’s community, the sneakerheads and Back to the Future fans.” – Michael J. Fox.

Yes, the time is finally here. Perhaps the craziest commotion in a span of 24 hours on a single sneaker’s pending release information has finally ended. As Nike’s very first rechargeable sneaker, the Nike Air Mag 2011 will feature a glowing LED panel and an electroluminescent Nike logo on the strap. Off a single charge, the Nike Air Mag 2011 will glow for an estimated 5 hours.

The Nike Air Mag 2011, an identical replica of the original Nike Air Mag worn by Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly in the film “Back to the Future II”, will be auctioned off on eBay at nikemag.eBay.com. Exactly 1500 pairs will be auctioned off and all proceeds from the sales will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation starting tonight at 8:30 PST. 150 pairs will be on auction each day with each listing lasting 10 days. After publicly announcing his battle with Parkinson’s Disease, Michael J. Fox is hoping to raise awareness of the disease and gain support for his foundation. Whether or not you approve of such a release, this is an “event” for a great cause done the right way by Nike. As an added plus and acting as a more formal introduction to the Nike Air Mag, Michael J. Fox himself will appear on David Letterman later tonight to further discuss information surrounding this unprecedented event in sneaker history.

“What does the future look like for sneakers at Nike?” Tinker responds…

Soon to be officially announced and introduced is the Nike Air Mag 2011, known as the iconic sneaker worn by Marty McFly in the movie “Back to the Future II”. Several months ago in May of this year, Tinker Hatfield unveiled the Nike Air Mag 2011 in a 20 minute interview with sports announcer Gus Johnson. This exclusive interview also encompasses the history and the present era of Oregon University and its sports programs, Tinker Hatfield’s history with the Oregon University and the state, and of course the success and the future of Nike and Jordan Brand. If you want to jump to the Nike Air Mag 2011 segment, skip to the 12:38 minute mark on the video. 

Highlighting this years Nike SB November 2008 line-up is the Marty McFly Back to the Future Zoom Tre AD. Similar to the exclusive McFly Hyperdunk released several weeks back, this Zoom Tre A.D consists of grey paneling, turquoise splatter and accents, and a glow in the dark swoosh, ultimately resulting in a futuristic looking sneaker.
