Back to the Future II Hoverboard to be released.
Not long after Nike released these Nike Mag shoes - inspired by the Back to the Future movies - Mattel has announced a replica hoverboard from Back to the Future II, which was set in 2015.

The &amp;#8220;movie accurate&amp;#8221; replica includes such details as a hole at the front of the deck where Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, ripped out the handlebar and pole and features the same neon-rrific coloring. According to Mattel&amp;#8217;s press release, it also makes multiple whooshing noises and &amp;#8220;glides&amp;#8221; over most surfaces. The company didn&amp;#8217;t provide much detail on how it glides, but one thing&amp;#8217;s for sure: It does not work on water. Dangit!

Note that while it &amp;#8220;glides over surfaces&amp;#8221;, it does not actually hover under the weight of a human! Pre-orders will be available from March 1, with a certain amount of orders needing to be placed before the board actually goes into production. Pricing is yet to be announced, but keep an eye out here at 8&amp;#160;Bit Future for more details.
