Michael J. Fox received sneakers from the future
Nike gave Michael Jay Fox, who starred in the acclaimed Back to the Future trilogy, a pair of self-closing trainers identical to those worn by Marty McFly in the second episode of the movie. The actor himself announced this on the Twitter page of his fund, which raises funds for research in the fight against Parkinson's disease. "They are real. The photo was taken today. Going on sale in the spring of 2016", - reads the caption under the photo, which captures Michael J. Fox himself in the familiar to all fans of "Back to the Future" sports shoes. Earlier, on his personal Twitter page, the actor published a fragment of a letter from Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, in which the latter informs the actor that a pair of Nike Air Mag sneakers has been sent to him as a gift. Recall that the technology that allows the shoe to fasten itself was patented by Nike back in 2011, but at that time some technical problems remained unresolved, so the company limited itself to releasing a replica of Back to the Future sneakers with a regular fastener. Each pair was worth several thousand dollars, and all the proceeds from the sale, which is more than nine million dollars, were transferred to the actor's fund. The Topic of Article: Michael J.
