Arguably the biggest news in sneaker history broke last week with the unveiling of the Nike Air Mag 2011which, of course, is the exact kick Marty McFly sported in the 1988 classic Back to The Future II. As reported the sneakers released in conjunction with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, and kicks have raised a boat load of cash for the charity. While John Q. Sneakerhead may not be able to pony up the requisite 3-5 grand to own a limited piece of Nikes and film history, cash flush rap stars certainly can. British rhyme spitter Tinie Tempah put up close to $40 large for the fist pair of the Nike Air Mag 2011 to hit auction, and Kid Cudi soon followed suit, securing four pairs for himself on eBay. Unlike other limited releases in the past, nobody, including influencers and celebrities alike were given free pairs. Kid Cudi took to Twitter to voice his excitement and, based on averages, it looks like he made the fiscally favorable decision, locking up four pairs for less than Tinie paid for his 1. The kicks are still being auctioned off, so you’ve still got time to make a multi-thousand dollar rash sneaker decision.
