[JKKS]

If you're Canadian & happen to be lucky enough to win the Mags, you'd better hope you're mathematics is up to scratch!

What ???!???? Is that serious ? Why ?
I'm not Canadian, I have no interest in these shoes but that has to be one of the weirdest, most out of place stipulation I've seen. It's a lottery and they are asking you to answer a math question correctly to claim your prize ? It's like going to the drugstore, buying some beers and having to do push ups to bring them home.
Well at least they're not asking Americans to answer a world geography question correctly because that wouldn't be fair and they would probably have to hold on to 80 of those 84 pairs. :devil

In Canada gambling is generally illegal outside of licensed casinos and certain lotteries. The "skill test" makes it not-gambling, because you had to use your math skill to get the prize.

It's basically how small business can get around the gambling laws and run raffles and things like that in Canada.

wish they did a mass release, even with a price tag between $500-$1000 they would had sold, then donated all the process to Michael J Fox's Parkinson foundation .
This would had a been a win, win, win for everyone, nike, the charity and the BTTF fans and sneaker collectors.
And I hope somebody here and true BTTF fans win. I only entered for one, but I would had gladly paid $600 for a pair, but if I win (which is unlikely, I don't like to gamble) I will donate $600 to Fox's foundation

But you know what's going to suck, when you see someone like Justin Bieber or the Kardashians wearing these

that makes alot more sense now! The more you know!

I'd resale them, and build a ready to go kit for V3s to make MAGs affordable to all of us and lasting long

Here's a picture to compare 2011 on left and 2016 on the right ...

Those soles look way too blue!

The 2011 MAG's are the best ones IMO

Thanks for explaining that! I just thought is was unfair and crazy

Totaly agree only 84 pairs (yes whatever) they said there was only so many USA versions of the pepsi perfect but some eBayers was selling them out of a full crate they had 50 plus bottles for sale........

I bought 2 entries for $20. I chose size 7 as that was Michael's size in the movie.

 

[RVLF]

I aso like this but it excludes anyone who is not in the US or Canada (excluding Quebec)

Yeah... I'm French (from Paris / France) And guess where I live now... -_-

Game over for me as i live in france ... : /
Is it me or they look uglier than the 2011 version ? :behave

Sérieusement quelle fumisterie ce concours !

No Canadian living in Québec and now THIS ! Scandalous ! Outrageaous !
If they can bend the rules to get the gamble game allowed in here with this line, WHY NOT GIVING QUEBEC A CHANCE ?!!!

Sérieusement quelle fumisterie ce concours !

Au plus j'entend la conceptrice, Tinket Hatfield en parler, la communication complètement écervelée digne d'Apple (désolé pour les fans d'Apple), le fait que Nike veut que cette chaussure soit élitiste me fait franchement vomir. Retour vers le futur est un film populaire, ils auraient mis des paires à 500 voir 1000 euros max sans limite de production, j'aurais dit banco, mais là apparemment les enchères vont s'envoler et cela sera au plus débile qui va pouvoir mettre le plus d'argent, sachant que ces chaussures ne sont que pour le display seulement, la conceptrice l'a bien dit dans une vidéo "elle ne sont pas faite pour être portées"...

Bref je sentais venir de loin quand j'ai lu qu'il allait y avoir une annonce mais je ne suis pas étonné du pétard mouillé cela me rassure même que Nike continue dans sa politique de prendre les gens pour des "beep".

A few thoughts. These are solely my opinion and are not meant to be disrespectful to anyone on the RPF.

Why does everyone feel so entitled to a pair of MAG's? Sneakers are not owed to anyone. If Nike and the MJF Foundation want to offer a limited release, that's their prerogative and complaining about it isn't a solution.

For people claiming that a $1000 sneaker would fly off the shelf, I think that's foolish. We have enough people on this forum who were complaining about a $600 model and I'm sure David has only sold a few thousand, if that, and it cost more than that to make the molds and buy materials.

A $10 raffle ticket levels the playing field that kept so many fans and collectors out of the running during the 2011 auction, but also puts the foundation in a place to make so much more money. If 100k people buy 1 ticket, the foundation makes 1 million dollars. Plus these will be in such higher demand from sneaker heads that they'll easily pass 100k tickets sold.

Do I hope I win? Absolutely.
Do I think I will? No.
Am I happy with my V3's? You bet. I bought what was representative of the actual prop and fills that need in the collector in me.

Very true.
And since the actual automatic lacing on this new 2016 version is basically exactly the same as that hyperadapt, its not as though you would be getting a movie accurate lacing system, and let's be honest, that is what most people remember.
Marty puts his foot in the shoe, and it fastens ultra fast and the strap fastens too.

This one is basically a slow slow lace up that amounts to a gimmick that's not worth the amount some folks on the internet have banded about, like $15000 and $30,000.
It doesn't have the magic and illusion of the movie, so I doubt many will be too fussed anyway.
89 Pairs for the entire globe? There's more chance of us finding Elvis hiding in Graceland!

Apparently you can try them on in person at the Nike Lab in NYC from Oct 5th - 7th.. Although I thought you need an appointment to visit that location?
