With the future approaching us at a rapid rate, it’s time for us to start demanding the gadgets we were promised in the past.

It’s 2007, which means the world has eight years to make good on the 2015 presented to us by Back to the Future Part II. Hoverboards, flying cars, fashion that dictates two ties instead of one and, of course, Nikes with powerlaces.

In fact, why wait? ‘The McFly Project’ (also known as ‘Operation McFly’) are petitioning Nike to get with the powerlaces, already.

You can sign the petition or, if you’re in need of convincing, check out their powerful political advertisement.
