Futurama puts in heads in jars – this Doctorama t-shirt puts the heads of doctors in jars. You just never know when the brains of Doogie Howser, the Eleventh Doctor, or House could be used in the future. Better to be safe than sorry.

We’ve seen a few Doctor Who / Back To The Future mashups in our day, but adding in the Weeping Angels is a new twist that we definitely like—especially since the shirt is only $10 if you grab it today.

Nike recently released 1,500 pairs of MAG reproductions from Back To The Future in a gigantic sneaker auction for the benefit of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research.  Alex (a.k.a. Orion Pax) perhaps couldn’t afford to bid (the were selling for well over $4000 a pair) or maybe he just really likes a challenge. Whatever the reason, he designed a replica of the Nike MAG with LEGO bricks. I think it gives the shoe a nice, space-boot look.

I think zombie Marty ate Doc’s brain. Perhaps that’s why he’s making ridiculous commercials in Argentina.

Nike pissed a lot of people off when they announced that they were going to be releasing the Mag Sneaker from Back to the Future, but only in extremely limited numbers at an auction for thousands of dollars. To add insult to injury, the sneakers aren’t even self-lacing. However, Tinker Hatfield, the legendary shoe engineer who designed the new Nike MAG and invented the original Pump sneakers, had some encouraging words, saying that this is only the first line of MAG sneakers, and that self-lacing technology will exist by 2015—the year Marty McFly actually wore the sneakers in Back to the Future II.

In order to celebrate the extremely limited release of the Nike MAG sneaker from Back to the Future, The Nike Back4TheFuture Twitter account is posting a series of awesome, retro-themed posters such as the example shown above. Check out some additional designs after the break.

Holy crap. The Nike Mag is real—and you can score one of a very limited edition of 1500 pairs starting tonight at 11:30 PM EST on eBay.

Here’s the deal—Nike has reproduced the Mags from Back To The Future and will only sell 1500 pairs off to the highest bidders. All of the proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research and Google‘s Co-Founder Sergey Brin will match the bids.

The shoes will be faithful reproductions of the originals, though the power lace technology will be absent since it isn’t really ready for primetime. However, the sneakers will feature LEDs and an electroluminescent Nike logo.

Gah! I am so excited about this! And if this hasn’t got you psyched enough, check out the promo videos after the break.

Support your local scientist—even if he seems crazy as sh*t. All I know is that if I’m paying $42 US for a basic t-shirt I had damn well better get a hoverboard out of the deal.
