Jul 7 2008Back To The Future II Marty McFly Hyperdunks Coming Next Month, No Word On Hoverboard
In a move that makes Nike infinitely cooler in my eyes, the company had decided to release a model similar to those seen in Back to the Future II. Of course I'll never buy them, but at least they're trying. Unfortunately the Marty McFly Hyperdunks have laces and don't vacuum-fit to your feet. So the similarities basically end at looking kind of like the ones in the movie. They do sport "Flywire technology" though, which doesn't mean anything really except they're allegedly lightweight. Available late next month (July) for an undisclosed amount of future money, I'll most certainly be passing. The time machine is near completion so I'll just travel to the future and snag the real thing.
UPDATE: Just went for my first spin into the future.
Bad news: There are no cool shoes in the future, only killer robots.
Good news: I called it, pay up!
Hit the jump for the scene in the movie where Marty first puts the shoes on.
Great Scott! The 2015 McFly Sneakers Are Now (Somewhat) Real [wired]
Thanks Rocko, I couldn't be more depressed right now.

If they actually tightened themselves like in the movie I would be first in line to get a pair/ first in line to sign my sex life away. Nothing personal penis but some things is life are too good to pass up.

You can't wear these unless you combine them with a skinny tie and a mullet.

Awesome!
Although I definitely wont be buying any.
And when they decided to make something from Back to the Future II, why couldn't it have been the hover-board : (

These shoes already came out, and they sold out in an instant. Last I checked, the last pair went for over $2000

They uh,... dont look anything like the ones featured in the movie. But yay for commercialism!

If 80's fashion ever came back into style again... I.. I... I don't know what I would do *tears hair out of head*

#7 Michael, dude, don't ever come to australia. 80s fashion has exploded and all the cool kids think it's the best shit ever. So much so that anything non-80s is instantly so uncool that you get stink-eyed out of any room you enter.
run.

thats a mockup someone made with foam. dumbass.
and these fucking "mcfly" shoes would be awesome too own....if they were the ones....from the damn movie. theyre not. these Mcfly hyperdunks? theyre called....dont look a thing alike.. if i saw these in the store without mcfly on them, and i didnt see this article i wouldve never fucking known they were supposed too be related.
years of wanting those shoes and they do it with a poor attempt, what a waste.

I've seen the movie.
Fashion from the 70's, 80's, and early 90's needs to be completely destroyed. Except for a few things. Very few.
Oh my god, what were they thinking?
Kill it with fire.

Yeah I got the Mcfly hyperdunks. I wear it with pink laces that come with it. I bought it for $680. I hate myself.
