    similar to Nike Air Mag from the “Back to the Future” sequel

  26. Bheema V Says:

    Apparently (2) is from Nike’s patent application for Self-lacing shoes a-la self-lacing from “Back to the future” series (1).

    Not sure whether prior art applies since I don’t remember the amount of details the movie went into on the shoes.

    Regarding prior art, I found this story interesting: http://www.iusmentis.com/paten.....onaldduck/
