A limited number of replica shoes based on those worn in Back to the Future II have gone on sale, with all proceeds going to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
Just 1500 Nike MAG shoes have been made, with fans of the sci-fi franchise in the US able to bid for a pair via eBay.
Worn by Marty McFly in the year 2015, Nike have confirmed that, unlike in the movie, the shoes do not self-lace.
The auction runs until September 18, and 150 pairs per day will be put on the website.
All donations will be matched through a previous $50 million sum donated to the foundation.
However, the shoes are coming at a cost - bids of up to $9000 have already been placed by fans eager to grab a piece of Hollywood fashion history.
