Creative maker Tom Yoo is known for his takes on iconic shoe designs that are constructed entirely from LEGO building blocks. Pushing the modular toy to new and interesting limits, Tom Yoo has once again created a LEGO sculpture worthy of his portfolio.
His latest release is a model of the futuristic Nike MAG model, constructed entirely from LEGO. This recreation mimics the imaginative sneaker design worn by the character Marty McFly from the iconic film 'Back to the Future II.'
The self-lacing and light-up sneaker design was unheard of during the time of the film's release, but recent rumors have speculated that Nike is actually planning a special release of the shoe to the public.
