I always like to find insights into one of the most iconic trilogy, I seen this fiolm countless time.  One the prototype designers from Nike for the Back to future sneakers is sell a single shoe on ebay but gives some very interesting insight to a really cool never filmed scene:

They were originally called "Slamball Shoes," and that's what most people called them around Nike. There was supposed to have been a scene in the movie in which Marty plays Slamball, a game like 3D racquetball where the participants wear magnetic shoes which allow them to climb upthe walls. That scene was never shot because the cost of building a huge room on gimbals to create the effect was too great.

The REAL name of the shoes in Marty McFly's world of 2015 was the"Nike Mag" because of their magnetic properties, and that's what is molded in the back of the heel.

This is almost as cool as when I found out Back to Future was filmed Twice, once with Eric Stotlz as Marty McFly but because of to many complications and Micheal J Fox availability they were able to redo the film with the rightful candidate. (Here is some images from the Eric Stoltz version)

+ Nike recently released a limited run of Nike Hyperdunks which are the reDesigned Back to the Future shoes, click here for images.
