    "There's something very familiar about all this..."

    The Back to the Future trilogy featured many cool things we all hoped to some day own for ourselves. Whether it was something as high-tech as hoverboards, or as simple as shoes that would lace themselves, there was plenty for us to dream about for the future.

    Though hover-skateboards will probably take a bit longer, we may see those self-lacing shoes in time for 2015. Nike has filed for a patent for self-lacing shoes, complete with a charging station. Sure, not every patent filed means we can expect to see the product on the shelves, but we really hope Nike makes these shoes a reality. Who wouldn't want a pair of Marty McFlys?

    Oh, and if you've ever felt the urge to mug the kid legging it around the supermarket with light up shoes, you'll be glad to know that the patent for these shoes also details lights on the sides of the soles, as well as a light up Nike logo on the tongue of the shoe.

    DOOD! Thats cool! I dont know how old you are but i remember when that movie came out EVERY kid at school knew somebody that got to go in the back of Toys R Us and ride the secret hoverboard. I never believed it but my brother swore it was true!

    although not very practical (too much $$) and probably won't go into production, I still think its pretty cool...
