Fox Foundation. Auction’s supposed to start at 11:30 ET tonight (Sept 9th)at http://airmag.ebay.com but that link doesn’t seem to be working yet.
Given the limited number and that they’re being auctioned for charity, I’m pretty sure these will go for way more than I’d ever want to spend for them.

I would be more interested if Nike had actually found a proficient method of self-lacing.

The self-lacing is all anyone cares about!

Because of the videos I’ve seen, they seem to be regular shoes that are just modeled off the ones in the movie.
