The Nike MAG shoes worn by Marty McFly in the classic film "Back to the Future Part II" have long been out of reach...until now!

The self-lacing feature depicted in the 1989 movie is gone, but the MAGs will get the movie version's LED-electroluminescent glowing Nike logos.

Nike MAG, from 'Back to the Future II,' with glowing Nike logo Most sneaker-heads, however, will never be able to get their hands on a pair.

Nike has produced a limited run of 1,500 pairs of the MAG. Each will be auctioned on EBay at nikemag.eBay.com, and all of the "net proceeds" will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help fight Parkinson's disease, according to Nike. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991.

The auction will end Sept.18th, with 150 pairs sold through EBay each day.

But the tech-related fundraising around the shoe doesn't end there.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojciki, who co-founded the DNA-testing company 23andMe, have agreed to match all donations to the Michael J. Fox Foundation -- up to $50 million -- through the end of 2012, according to the blog Nice Kicks.

In the film "Back to the Future Part II," Fox wears the shoes when his character, Marty McFly, travels to the year 2015. Hopefully we'll see a general release of the Nike MAG in four years, at lower prices than the EBay auction will conjure up.

As you look at the commercials and the images keep in mind that Michael is now 50 years old and Christopher Lloyd is now 73!

Remember this scene from the movie?
