Last year, Nike Unveiled a version of the aforementioned self-tying shoes, dubbed the Nike Mag. Only 1,500 pairs of Nike Mags were released and sold on eBay, with proceeds going directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Bidding quickly climbed above $3,500 in the first night, with some models topping $4,000. Like the Mattel hover board, however, the Nike Mag shoes didn't actually tie themselves, but fans were apparently still willing to shell out big money for the BTTF-inspired kicks.

So a hoverboard that doesn't hover and self-tying shoes that don't tie themselves....
My dreams are pretty much crushed right now.
