Still haven't seen a source on this..
I know Nice Kicks confirmed he said it at Agenda Emerge, but there's no quote or anything.
Hundreds of news outlets and blogs picked it up, only referencing the Nice Kicks hear say

I really, really hope this isn't true. That would be such an incredible let-down. I didn't create a NT account today to hear that news..

Oh by the way: Updated replicas were released this week. They currently have every attribute that the originals offer—correct lighting and shape. They're being labeled as "authentic". This usually means authorized Nike factories are producing the shoes as well.
My source had told me this: Nike has requested licensing authorization for both BTTF artwork and the receipt used in the film. They didn't mention anything about licensing on the Mags itself, so I assumed they were just seeking an alternative shoe, which led me to believe the Bertins were to be released.
However, given the release of these new "authentic" or unauthorized replicas, a possible Mag release is still feasible for Oct 21.

I was pointing out that the pic posted wasn't Burins just photoshopped tennis classics
I too believe we'll see the return of the Bruin
I"m guessing we've possibly already seen the packaging too

Most likely Nike doesn't need to ask for any licensing regarding the MAG because they designed the shoe and it's already been released. All that would be needed would of course be BTTF specific stuff like you mentioned.
But with guys like Jedifyfe doing MAG conversions on the reps, I don't think it really points to anything "official" from Nike. Hell, Kickasso's black/gold MAG made it to rep sites ya know? But I am intersted to see these new versions. Any pics?

So are the Bruins happening or pure speculation?

Yeah I think he posted the link before he got the boot lol. Plus all the conversion tutorials are up as well.
As for the Bruins release...that dude says he has Nike sources so take it for what it's worth. But I couldn't even find the original blurb I read way back.

Holy s*** there are vids for fakes on youtube.

If they don't power lace though I don't see the point in releasing them. Marty said power laces in the movie and Tinker promised power laces in that video. Cmon Nike. Don't go limp on us here.

There are TONS of fake/replica MAG vids all over YouTube. A lot of movie prop guys going for screen accurate versions, dudes telling you which replica pairs are the best to get. I'm not sure MAGs fall into regular sneaker category either. I'm into movie props as well so I know all about those guys being super anal on getting details 100% spot on. I've seen some guys post on the RPF saying the actual Nike release isn't accurate enough to their liking of the pairs used in 1989. Go figure...

I rather just not have these than to own a fake or replica of these. It's just not worth it imo.

Yes. As I mentioned in my previous post, when replicas are typically that close that usually means Nike factories are producing the shoe as well. It is also ironic that these "authentic" are being released weeks before Oct 21.

I did a little digging and reached out to people. Those are real Nike. Not updated reps. Seems this "comparison" has been popping up all over YouTube.
Vid guy is trolling.

Trust me—those are really good replicas. Look at the box. Also, there are still a few things off, such as the Nike swoosh.

Thread has devolved into a replicas discussion again.
therefore
*These must be releasing on the 21st*

this. they are more of a movie prop than an actual shoe. no point in making real and replica distinctions on mags really. having had the real ones on at one time, they are definitely more of a prop than something you would actually want to wear everyday.

Bro...this is complete nonsense. Go to YouTube, search Nike Mag and limit the search to this week. You'll see a handful of videos of the same lady with the same handles "777a" etc using the SAME pair of REAL size 10 Mags in each "different" video. The box in each video is beat up in the same spots, plus one video she opens up the pamphlet and it has the license plate AND DVD with the promotional videos?
Come on bro, this is laughable. Some Chinese rep maker finally got a real pair and is trying to troll everyone.

SkyDavis don't wanna talk about no replicas no more.
