Ever since Back to the Future Part II came out and tickled my fanciful soul with the Nike Air Mag, I've been waiting to get my hands on a pair. They're finally real and oh my god they're so dreaaamy.

 The upper of the shoe is made of reinforced mesh. The outer sole is lined with LED panels that'll light up just like all futuristic shoes imagined in the 80's should (we're not talking corny LA Gear shoes here, people). The Air Mag is rechargeable and will stay lit for 5 hours. There's also a electroluminescent Nike logo in the strap. It's pretty much the exact replica of the pair of shoes Marty McFly famously wore with a few slight tweaks to add more support and comfort. 
 
 Here's the great news about the Back to the Future Nikes: they're being made for a great cause as the proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation in the hopes of finding a cure for Parkinson's disease. 
 
 The less good news? Well, in the larger scope of things, there isn't any bad news. Parkinson's is a terrible disease and benefiting the search for a cure is always a good thing. For sneakerheads looking to score the shoe of their lifetime though, the Air Mags is going to be really hard to come by as only 1500 pairs will be made. Even harder is that each pair will be put up for auction on eBay. The auction starts tonight at 11:30 EST at nikemag.eBay.com.

 Crushing the far-fetched dream of wearing 2015 technology on your feet though, the shoes won't be power lacing. That's okay! Everything else about the shoe is as beautiful as when I first fell in love with it. And who knows what'll happen when it's actually 2015? Michael J. Fox is slated to be on Letterman tonight, so we'll all see the official unveiling there. 
 
 They're just a pair of shoes, yes, but they might as well be Doc Brown and a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor—I feel like a kid all over again. I can't wait to put them on. [Nike, Image Credit: @crookedtongues, @AmyJoMartin and High Snobiety]

 You can keep up with Casey Chan, the author of this post, on Twitter or Facebook. ||||| (CNN) "Back to the Future" Day is Wednesday, and fans are tallying up the 1989 film's predictions of life in the year 2015. 
 
 How did the movie do? Here are some of its hits and misses: 
 
 Big-screen televisions and video conferencing: Yes 
 
 The film features several scenes of characters watching screens very much like the oversize ones we actually use these days. That's saying something, because most TVs of the 1980s were heavy, square appliances with bulky picture tubes. Some of them even came in wood-grain cabinets like furniture! 
 
 Also, the "BTTF II" characters talk to the screens just like we do today. Not bad, given that videophones -- though long promised -- barely existed in 1989. 
 
 Hoverboard: No 
 
 Despite the recent Lexus commercial showing skateboard aces skimming around a skatepark on maglev hoverboards, the technology just isn't there yet. The Lexus hoverboard requires a special surface to ride on, as does a rival, the Hendo. 
 
 Another hoverboard, the Omni, is essentially a skateboard with helicopter rotors. Sorry, we'll just have to wait a little longer before flying around Hill Valley is commonplace. 
 
 News drones: Yes 
 
 During a crucial scene in the film, a USA Today drone can be flying around the Hill Valley courthouse taking pictures. Major media companies, including CNN, are now looking into using the tech for news purposes 
 
 Hands-free video games: Yes 
 
 Our intrepid time traveler, Marty McFly, plays an arcade game called "Wild Gunman" at Café 80's in 2015. Two kids are shocked that McFly has to use his hands to play, calling it a "baby's game." Thanks to products like Xbox Kinect, hands-free video games are now pretty commonplace. 
 
 Fashion: Mixed 
 
 The less said about the custom of wearing two ties at the same time , the better. However, the movie did get the concept of everyday athletic apparel right. 
 
 Everyday consumer products: Yes, with an asterisk 
 
 Pepsi is still around, and the beverage company wasn't going to miss a chance to put out a limited-edition Pepsi Perfect like the one Marty orders in the film. But the key words are "limited edition." Similarly, in reality, "Jaws" only made it to "Jaws: The Revenge" (the fourth film in the series), but that didn't stop Universal from putting out a fake trailer for "BTTF II's" "Jaws 19." 
 
 But there's a Pizza Hut in town, and the McFly family is shown chowing down on a pie. Some things never go out of style. 
 
 Video glasses: Yes 
 
 Marty McFly's troublesome kids wear high-tech goggles to the dinner table, which are remarkably similar in function to Google Glass, Oculus Rift and Samsung VR. 
 
 The World Champion Chicago Cubs: ?
– They're the most famous shoes never made—until now. They're the Nike Air Mags, the LED-covered high-tops Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future Part II. Now, as Gizmodo gushes, they can be yours for a limited time ... for the right price. Nike has made just 1,500 pairs of the Air Mags. Each day for 10 days (starting yesterday), 150 pairs will be auctioned off on eBay to raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation to raise money to find a cure for Parkinson's disease. So far, eBay bids have ranged from $3,350 to a staggering $9,000. The shoes may not have the famous power laces from the movie, and there have been a couple of other changes for support, but otherwise they look just like the colorful '80s boots those of a certain age remember so well. Hoverboard sold separately. For more information, check out the Back 4 the Future website.
