It's 2015. No Hover-Board yet but Auto-Laces will be here this year

The power of science fiction is being revealed as companies race to make the products seen in Back To The Future II in time for the October 21st date at which Marty McFly arrived. The latest example is Nike's confirmation that they are preparing to release boots with “power laces” that tighten themselves.
Shoes that lace themselves may not be nearly as in demand as hoverboards or flying cars, but they are more likely to be at an affordable price.
Rumors have been circulating for some time that Power Laces are on their way, but it has now been officially confirmed by Nike innovation chief Tinkler Hatfield, although he declined to reveal prices or even release dates, noting that there are “11 and two-thirds months left in 2015,” suggesting Nike is giving itself the extra two months beyond McFly's arrival, just in case it needs them. They've even patented the technology.

I think Patagonia is working on them. They already sell vests that look almost like those from the movie.

Seeing this movie when it came out as a kid, I always thought the power laces and self-drying jacket were the coolest aspects to the 2015 shown in the film. Flying cars (even if it were somehow possible) always just seemed way to dangerous for average drivers to me considering the number of wrecks we already have with current technology.

I can't wait to see the Cubs win the World Series this year.

I almost want to bet on a Miami vs Chicago Cubs world series with the Cubs winning it all.

This thread made me think of this which is on Woot TODAY.

I don't think Marty McFly is going to be happy with his 2015 self.
