Supposedly an announcement will be made today. I'm still not convinced its not some elaborate viral campaign. I'm on my phone so I can't post a link. Can someone post a link and a video? Seriously, do I gotta do fucking everything here?

I'm convinced this is some kind of viral marketing thing.
We should find out tonight.

Im convinced these shoes will be available eventually. I just dont think its going to be now. I think theyll be ready by 2015. The year they had them in B2TF 2. But who knows, maybe theyve already perfected the self lacing tech and are ready to go.
All I know is my cousin works for Nike and hes got struict orders to do whatever needs to be done to reserve me a pair of these fuckers when they do come out.

Well, the announcement has been made and they are a limited edition of 1,500 pairs, they will only be available for auction on ebay with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's, and they ARE NOT SELF-LACING!
Why even fucking bother? Just make a donation yourself, Nike, and stop wasting everyone's time. Make like a tree and get outta here with this shit!

The news yesterday said, they won't self-lace but the Nike logo on the ankle strap will Illuminate.

Don't go crying to him when when they tie to hard and you have to lose your foot when you have no circulation.

Saw that last night. Pointless. My 3 year old has shoes that light up. Fuck that, I want the self lacing ones.
Kev how funny would that be, one just doesnt stop tightening til a fuckers foot is purple.

They won't self-lace but still a big moment in history. The jet pack and air car can't be too far behind.
