The 'Yesterdays' Air Mag Pin Pays Tribute to an Iconic 80s Film

To commemorate the day Marty McFly traveled to the future in the 80s film 'Back to the Future Part II,' pin makers 'Yesterdays' created an Air Mag label pin. This pop culture-promoting pin displays the futuristic self-lacing sneakers Back to the Future fans recognize.

While brands have been celebrating the iconic 80s film in many forms, the Yesterdays Air Mag pin is a miniature tribute with a huge amount of futuristic style. The 1.25" hard enamel black nickel plating pin is shaped like Marty's iconic self-lacing sneakers with light-up panels.

The back of the pin features a black rubber backer, so sci-fi fans can wear their Air Mag pin with pride and comfort.
