I covered late last month that a viral video, filmed in Brazil, hinted that perhaps the owners of the Back To The Future movie franchise were putting out “feelers” to measure public interest in another film offering. The video features Christopher Lloyd dressed as his BTTF character Doc Brown, as well as the iconic silver DeLorean from the movie series. No sign of Michael J. Fox though.

Seems Nike is getting into the fun, and might have provided yet another exciting BTTF hint...

Remember Back To The Future Part II? It was set both in 1985 and in 2015 (just around the corner,) and featured a pair of futuristic silver self-lacing Nike sneakers, worn by Michael J. Fox’s character Marty McFly, while escaping hooligans on a hoverboard.

Patents for the futuristic sneakers were discovered on the Internet just last year, amid speculation that Nike may’ve successfully figured out the self-lacing feature, and was poised for a future product release.

Well, another mysterious YouTube video has just surfaced, placed on a user channel created yesterday, by the one-and-only DocBrown88 (with a more recent image of Christopher Lloyd’s character.) The 46 second video pans into a rather large room filled with - you guessed it - racks of silver Nike Mag sneakers. Replete with blinking lights.

So, hint number two in just two weeks. Are we going to get another BTTF movie or not?!? What are your thoughts?
