Back to the Future stands as one of the most beloved movie trilogies of all time. To this day, people are rewatching the 1985 classic film. We made a loop through time over the course of three movies hitting time periods across the centuries. Though we’ve already passed October 21, 2015, there are still a number of items inspired by Back to the Future that we can purchase today. No doubt that some of these items were directly inspired by the movies, and we now incorporate them into our lives without thought. Thank goodness we never went for the double tie look!
Whether you are here to celebrate Back to the Future Day on October 21, or you need a few “futuristic” items for your house, this list has you covered. We can’t be sure you’ll never have to stop your kids from ruining their futures. We also can’t promise you won’t get into a skateboard race leading to a manure pileup. So pull up your DeLorean, and let’s hit 88 mph on the road to nostalgia. Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

Hoverboard
This is THE definitive Back to the Future item. Sure we all wanted to ride a skateboard after the original movie, but once 1989 hit and we caught a glimpse of that bright pink hoverboard, everything changed. Visions of floating down the streets danced through our heads, and we hoped 30 years came sooner rather than later. Sadly, to this day, we are still waiting.
Tony Hawk rode a Hendo Hoverboard back in 2014, and to this day, it’s the closest thing we have seen to a hoverboard mimicking the movie franchise. While this board truly does hover, it uses a sort of maglev technology where powerful magnets create a field to levitate the device. In order for the Hendo Hoverboard to levitate and move, it also requires a copper inductor surface in tandem with the magnetic levitation.
While not as movie-perfect as the Hendo, the term “hoverboard” has become synonymous with self propelled scooters. Riding these hoverboards are closer to riding a segway than a skateboard, but the fact that we collectively call them hoverboards means that the inspiration still runs deep in our consciousness. The XPRIT Hoverboard comes with Bluetooth technology and is one of the most highly rated boards on Amazon. Just like our favorite pink board, we recommend you do not run this hoverboard on water.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Replica Hoverboard – Learn More at Amazon” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#dd9933″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#002540″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2Qi82om||target:%20_blank|”][vc_btn title=”XPRIT Hoverboard – Learn More at Amazon” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#dd9933″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#002540″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2YvJQn0||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”drbshd” css=”.vc_custom_1585733347272{margin-bottom: 3% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]
Nike MAG Self Lacing Shoes
Who doesn’t want a pair of Nike MAGs? Slip your feet in these shoes and witness them lace up automatically. That sure beats looping shoelaces or tying rabbit ears!
In 2016, Nike auctioned off 89 pairs of these shoes globally complete with “Adaptive Fit”. Over the past three years alone, this shoe has popped up online and sold for between $20,000 and $34,000! That is a lot of money to shell out for some shoes. If you’re interested in a more affordable version of the Nike MAGs, check out the costume version of these shoes. These Nike MAGs are fully functional replica Back to the Future shoes complete with LED lights.
While not necessarily faithful representations of the MAGs, Nike also sells the Marxman trainers. The aesthetic of the trainers is certainly similar to the futuristic version. If you’re not into buying new shoes and want to turn your existing shoes futuristic, then grab a pair of no tie shoelaces.

Wall Projector
Just what happens when the machine screen repairman won’t fix your window screen? Look, I don’t know how Future Marty and the repairman got into a fight so bad that he was calling Marty chicken. Were they about to duke it out over the estimated bill? We may never know.
What we do know is that our structural windows have stayed intact through 2015 and beyond. Still, we can very easily replicate this technology in ways that we couldn’t back in 1985. With the Dr J Wall Projector, we can broadcast Back to the Future on the 100″ included screen! Turn any wall of your home into a picture window if you desire. You could even take this projector and screen outside and play a movie on the side of your house. There are 4k compatible versions of wall projectors, but this 1080P version is far and away one of the most popular and best selling products on Amazon.
Even SHIELD attempted to trick Captain America with a window screen. It didn’t exactly work, but if the idea and technology has Marty McFly and Nick Fury’s seal of approval, then who am I to argue?

Marty McFly Self Drying Jacket
You have your feet covered with your new MAGs, but what about a jacket to spruce up your outfit? If you happen to take a dip into a pond by your favorite clock tower, you’ll be itching to turn Drying Mode On! Have we ever come close to having a Back to the Future jacket like this?
Turns out, the company Falyon Wearable Tech took two runs at this with their own Self Drying Jacket. They created two different Kickstarter campaigns, and despite some hiccups, it appears they delivered jackets to backers in 2018. The company has been radio silent on their Kickstarter page since March 2018 though, so don’t expect to see this specific jacket hit Amazon any time soon.
If you’re looking for a Marty McFly replica jacket, this polyester costume jacket comes equipped with lights and sounds. Sure it won’t auto dry you, but the rest of the look will be spot on.
We have seen a blend of clothing and technology as well. Heated clothing and jackets actually exist. For example, ORORO heated jackets come with detachable battery packs that are quite popular. Some jackets out there even include stitching for Bluetooth and wired technology. Run your headphones directly through your clothing![/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Marty McFly Jacket – Learn More at Amazon” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#dd9933″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#002540″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F3gwqchb||target:%20_blank|”][vc_btn title=”ORORO Heated Jacket – Learn More at Amazon” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#dd9933″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#002540″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F34x6Fuu||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”drbshd” css=”.vc_custom_1585733347272{margin-bottom: 3% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]
Marty McFly Holographic Baseball Cap
It’s good to know baseball caps were still predicted to be in fashion in 2015. Even today, caps are as popular as ever with new styles and brims to suit your needs. Call me a child of the 80’s, but I miss and prefer the rolled brim look compared to the wide, flat version we see today. Who knows, maybe by 2035, my fashion wish will come true?
Widespread, we never got around to seeing holographic caps of rainbow colors like Marty McFly wore. While this never panned out, it doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if you want to complete your futuristic outfit. The Marty McFly replica hat comes with all the shimmering and colorful delight you’d expect.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Marty McFly Holographic Hat – Learn More at Amazon” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#dd9933″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#002540″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2CYs44w||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”drbshd” css=”.vc_custom_1585733347272{margin-bottom: 3% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]
Grays Sports Almanac
Three words: Grays Sports Almanac. Look, Marty McFly’s plan in Back to the Future 2 was solid. If you knew the outcome of every sporting event up to the turn of the century, wouldn’t you place a wager or two? Now letting the Almanac get into the hands of Biff and spiraling the timeline into a dystopian future probably ranks as one of the worst pieces of luck possible. Even knowing that was a possibility, be honest, you’d still roll the dice on the sports book!
While this “betting guide” lost its mojo with the year 2001, if you want, own your own piece of history. This replica Grays Sports Almanac contains 50 years of sports history and statistics over its 155 pages. Who won the World Series in 1979? That would be absolutely impossible to know without this book. I wouldn’t even know where someone could begin looking to find out that information! If you own Grays Sports Almanac, you’ll never worry about being caught flat-footed with a trivia question like that again.

Food Dehydrator
Pizza night is a great staple across America, but where is our Black & Decker Food Hydrator? Granted, who doesn’t love walking into the house with a big, piping hot box of pie? It’s hard to imagine not having that savory scent wafting through the home upon your triumphant return from the pizza shop, but Back to the Future predicted we would instead have pocket sized pizza.
If you yearn for your Pizza Hut in a silver bag, then enjoy this movie replica package. From my point of view, it’s an accurate representation of the movie prop. Just to warn you though, don’t expect a meal in the bag. There is no dehydrated pepperoni and green pepper pizza inside which may be a blessing and a curse. This product is solely the packaging of the iconic Pizza Hut futuristic meal.
So we have yet to experience rehydrating our meals and are stuck with traditional methods like the stove, microwave, and air fryer. Still, if you want at least half of the hydration process, enjoy the Nesco Gardenmaster Food Dehydrator. It’s one of the highest rated food dehydrators on the market, so if you want to dabble in homemade dried fruit, beef jerky, and more, give it a whirl. We may only have half of the equation here, but for the time being, I’ll enjoy the smell of a fresh, hot pizza box in my home until Black & Decker and Pizza Hut team up for the future we always wanted.

Multi Channel Video Screen
TV technology has certainly come a long way since the 80’s. Long gone are the days of televisions with tubes in them. Remember when nearly every TV set needed some form of rabbit ear antennas or the VHF and UHF dials? We went through a plasma revolution to sit at LED 4K televisions now. We could argue about how long a television lasts, but even today, you can purchase a 65″ 4K television for well under $1,000. If you’re fortunate enough to find the right deal, you might be able to buy 2 TVs for that price!
When young Marty McFly came home and turned on 6 channels at once, we were in sensory overload. Remember, at the time, we might have been watching Back to the Future II with tin foil on our TV antenna.
While Philips introduced some Picture in Picture (PiP) technology on high end TVs in 1983, it never took the world by storm. Granted television companies continued to evolve the technology and place it in their units, but when you’re purchasing a TV, are you concerned about PiP technology, or are you looking for the best size, price, brightness, and resolution?
If you desire watching multiple sources at once on your existing TV, try out a Quad multi view HDMI switcher. You may not be watching all your cable stations at once with this device, but you can view things like your television, game consoles, PC screen, or security camera all on the same television set at the same time.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Quad Multi View HDMI Switcher – Learn More at Amazon” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#dd9933″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#002540″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2QgYlXq||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”drbshd” css=”.vc_custom_1585733347272{margin-bottom: 3% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]
Drones
Drones probably didn’t enter your mind when thinking about Back to the Future because they played their part in the background of the films. Make no mistake though that drones were prevalent. As seen above, eagle eye viewers spotted the automatic dog walker drone. Who wouldn’t love that technology? Then again, with how much we love our pets, a self walking drone would probably have to be safer than a self driving car!
When Griff crashed through the courthouse with his gang, what was waiting for him outside other than a USA Today news drone? While news outlets still utilize street reporters, drones have infiltrated our country. From military uses to personal photography to Amazon delivery services, drones are technology available to everyone today.
If you have ever wanted to send up your smartphone on a drone and take gorgeous, scenic pictures and videos, you have the ability to do so. The DJI Mavic Mini is one of the most reliable and popular drones out there. It may not walk your dog, but it is compatible with your iPhone 11 and other Android devices.
Check out our full guide on the best camera drones to buy based on your budget. We discuss the important features to look out for as well as cheap drones under $100 for beginners up to the top, high end models.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DJI Mavic Mini Drone – Learn More at Amazon” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#dd9933″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#002540″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F3aXVaNR||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”drbshd” css=”.vc_custom_1585733347272{margin-bottom: 3% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]
Flying DeLorean
Flying Cars! That’s right, besides the hoverboard, what is more iconic to Back to the Future than this? We didn’t even have to wait until the sequel as Doctor Emmett Brown flipped our childlike creativity on its head at the end of the original film when he came back to get Marty and Jennifer. Who needs roads when you can fly?
As a child, there was nothing more amazing than picturing getting my drivers license and literally flying around with my friends in a car. As an adult driver, I can’t even fathom how we could have an entire civilization flying when we already have so many traffic issues driving. Would we still have driver licenses or pilot licenses? In a twist, just recently, Japan unveiled a SkyDrive flying car that hovered for 4 minutes with a person onboard.
Let’s just say that if there was a flying car on the market, it would not come cheap. If you prefer to enjoy an affordable car, check out this 1/15 scale Flying DeLorean. Sure, you can’t sit in it for a trip to the mall, but it does come with lights and sounds in this movie replica vehicle. No need to worry about following air traffic patterns from the comfort of your living room.
Don’t forget to add these Back to the Future license plates to your car – even if it doesn’t fly![/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DeLorean 1/15 Replica – Learn More at Amazon” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#dd9933″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#002540″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F3lfmCeA||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]
