Nike has unveiled the self-lacing trainers invented in Back to the Future Part II.
A limited number of shoes teased by the company yesterday have been put up for auction to raise money for charity.
A total of 1,500 pairs of the 2011 Nike MAG shoes will be sold via eBay, a new video confirmed.
The two-minute clip starring Kevin Durant, Bill Hader, Tinker Hatfield, Donald Fullilove and Christopher Lloyd as Doc Emmett Brown confirmed that proceeds from the sale would be donated to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
The shoes are available in sizes 7-13 and eBayers can bid now for the footwear.
Every day until the auction ends on September 18, 150 pairs of the 2011 Nike MAG trainers will be put on the eBay Fashion Vault. All donations will be matched through a previous $50 million sum given to the foundation.
It first emerged that Nike had patented its automatically-lacing trainers a year ago.
> 'Back to the Future' commercials may continue, says Bob Gale
