For us older sneakerheads, the coolest part of 1989's Back to the Future II came when Marty McFly slipped into a pair of Nike Air 2015's and like magic the shoes laced themselves up instantly.  It is now 2010 and although we have yet to see hoverboards or flying cars, the innovative minds at Nike have already filed patent papers for a shoe with an automatic lacing system, much like the one seen in the above clip from the movie.

Here are some pics of the patent pending lacing system.
