Shoes of the Future

Right off of McFly's feet

Remember in Back to the Future 2 when Marty McFly went to the future and his shoes laced themselves?

A Back to the Future enthusiast named Blake Bevin has brought them to life in a creation called Power Laces, and they'll be coming to stores soon!  She met her fundraising goal on October 11th and the shoes are heading into production.

This is revolutionary not only for 80s movie fans but also for the average Joe - maybe the next step will be self-lacing orthopedic shoes for elderly people who can't bend over to tie them!
