Back to the Future fans looking to score a real pair of the iconic futuristic Nikes worn by Marty McFly in the 1985 classic have a small chance at owning them.

Nike will raffle off 89 pairs of the 2016 Nike Mag with automatic power-laces to raise money to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The shoes are the real-life version of the fictional sneakers worn by Fox in Back to the Future Part II.

The shoes were first previewed on Oct. 21, 2015, the same day McFly travels to the future from 1985 in Back to the Future: Part II. Fox debuted the shoes on Twitter.
The self-lacing aspect might seem like an unnecessary function for shoes, and let’s be honest, they’re sort of ugly, but these aren’t just any kicks – they’re must-owns for both sneakerheads and movie collectors.
Getting a pair won’t be easy. The shoes will be raffled off for $10 a ticket to raise money for Fox’s foundation. Those desperate for a pair can buy as many tickets as they’d like with all proceeds being donated. If you enter the draw and don’t walk away with a coveted pair of Nike Mags, at least know you contributed to fighting Parkinson’s Disease. It’s a great gesture by Nike. Good luck to those looking to score the shoes.
