Back to the Future II is best remembered as a well-researched, highly accurate depiction of the future (which is just 7 years away at this point). Truth is, in 7 years, some of that stuff will probably have come to fruition to a degree. Digital newspapers, video arcade games that do not require the use of hands, intense 80′s nostalgia, and Miami having a baseball team are all just around the corner (if not here already).
Of course, there were some more imaginative items in the future, and some corporations are trying to bring them to us sooner than later. They could have gone with the auto-fitting, auto-drying jacket, the PitBull (TM), or even Grays Sports Almanac, but nope. They went with the Nike high-tops with the power laces. Still pretty fucking sweet though:
I’m loving the attention to detail. Do you see that? Written on the tongue behind the dopey “2015″ logo? Yeah, that’s the dates and times that the DeLorean visited in the first two movies. I can’t wait to kick these babies up on the coffee table while I rehydrate a pizza and watch channels 18, 24, 63, 109, 87 and the Weather Channel.
