I dunno, I'll wait for the real deal. At least for something closer to the real deal. Slapping the back to the future logo on a pair of basketball shoes doesn't make them 2015s.

No powerlaces.

They're only making 1000 of them? LAME. I don't know why they wouldn't want to mass produce those shoes. Those would be a big hit. I wouldn't wait around for the power laces. Even if they made soles big enough to hold the motor(s) required for the laces and the replacable/rechargable power source, there's still the issue of making both the motor(s) and the power source water proof and human-pressure proof, yet still sellable to people who aren't super rich. Not happening.
