“Are we going to see power laces in 2015? To that, I say yes.”

-Tinker Hatfield

Marty McFly’s Nikes are coming back in the future. Today, during an appearance at Jordan Brand’s Flight Lab in New Orleans, legendary designer Tinker Hatfield discussed the Nike MAG releasing again in its scripted year of 2015 with an authentic power lacing system. His response, quoted above, confirmed the return of the storied sneaker in its intended form. When they came out of nowhere and released in 2011, the MAGs lacked the automatic-lacing feature. Originally scripted in Back To The Future to be created in 2015, Hatfield also mentioned the self-tying 2015 recreation will be extremely limited.

Sports are often more than just a game, and skateboarding has been identified to have engaging and therapeutic effects. A.skate is a non-profit foundation that was created to introduce kids with autism to the benefits of riding a board, and they are now entering the footwear community by co-creating the A.skate x Vans Era Laceless Pro. Rolled out for a good cause in Spring 2014, these Vans Era Laceless Pro are the first-ever performance model to join the Vans Pro Skate line. Skate upgrades and an easy closure option make for the perfect combination of usable, stylish and simple. Grey and white keep it subtle, while custom “Obsessed to Skate” insole artwork by Jay Croft represents A.skate’s mission to channel obsessive tendency energy through skateboarding. A portion of the profit from each A.skate x Vans Era will go to support the cause nationwide. Watch A.Skate’s mission video below, and find a pair of their Eras today at Vans.

Just in time for 2014 NBA All-Star Weekend, SneakerSt has teamed up with Uncommon to create a special iPhone case that commemorates one of the most notable events in the event’s history. Michael Jordan’s win in the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest was one of the historical moments in league history, and is equally iconic in the sneaker world due to the Air Jordan 3s he flew in. The occurrence is captured on the SneakerSt x Uncommon MJ 88 Dunk Contest iPhone Case that covers all of the details from his famous wristband to the AJ 3s on his feet. Get this special edition accessory when it releases this Saturday, February 15th, at SneakerSt.
