It's no question that a slew of brands will be rolling out their own accessories and merchandise to commemorate the Nike MAG's long awaited debut. Among the first to introduce a MAG-inspired accessory, streetwear label COMBACK unveiled the 'COMBACK to the Future' backpack which is only limited to 300 pieces worldwide. The limited-edition accessory features some of the futuristic motifs showcased on the Nike MAG such as the flowing lights on the bottom and sides.

Both inspired by the iconic 80s film Back to the Future, the Nike MAG, and COMBACK's light-up backpack, make the perfect contemporary pieces to upgrade any streetwear wardrobe.
