Nike has been getting a lot of attention for their recent release of the Nike Air Mag, the very same shoe featured in Back To The Future 2 all the way back in 1989. But this isn’t all about making money. Nike has teamed up with Marty McFly himself, who was, of course, played by Michael J Fox to raise money to help fund research for a cure for Parkinson’s disease. Fox has been fighting Parkinson’s for years, and has his own foundation to help everyone with the debilitating disease.
