Have self-lacing shoes from "Back to the Future Part 2" by the year 2015.

Created by R.H. on January 14, 2013

In the movie "Back to the Future Part 2", Michael J. Fox's character, Marty Mcfly, travels to the year 2015, to stop his future son from getting into trouble. As Marty gets out of the Delorean, he puts on these self-lacing shoes, owned by Nike. If we have those kind of shoes in 2015, we would be able to have something to purchase to help this economy get back on its feet: fans of the BTTF movies would buy them for collecting purposes, for recreational use, and would create jobs for people to make the shoes with the self-lacing technology. People won't have to tie their own shoes as long as they're adjusted depending on the person's shoe size. Today's form of those shoes are the Merrell slip ons, but they don't adjust to one's foot size. If it can be done, that would great!
