MANILA, Philippines - On October 21, the first "self-tying shoes" was introduced to the world. And the first person to have them is none other than the star of the movie that inspired the product: Michael J. Fox of the 1980s movie "Back to the Future Part II."

Fox did not just receive a pair. Apart from that, he also appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live, Wednesday, wearing the shoes as Marty McFly, a passenger in a DeLorean driven by Christopher Lloyd.
Below is a video showing Fox fit the shoes for the first time.
