Nike Finally Releasing McFly 2015 Sneakers, Sort Of

gizmodo.com — People have been clamoring for Marty McFly's future Nike's from Back to the Future Part II for years now, but Nike has done nothing about it. Until now. They aren't releasing the actual shoes from the movie, unfortunately, but they are releasing shoes "inspired by" those future kicks. It's a start.

  • Sornos, on 06/27/2008, -1/+74We got seven years people. Get starting on the holograms and hovercars.
  • DrCrankenstein, on 06/27/2008, -9/+53Oh sweet, some new ugly Nike's for me not to buy.

    Give me a hoverboard and we might be talking.
  • Joest23, on 06/27/2008, -0/+31They should just release the real ones. I'm sure a bunch of 30 year olds would rush to the nearest Footlocker to get them just to look like Marty McFly.
  • aralls, on 06/27/2008, -5/+33I'm still waiting for my Team Zissou shoes... and a Glock

  • BoneheadFarker, on 06/27/2008, -1/+27It'll still look fake.
  • NeoNevermore, on 06/27/2008, -0/+24We also have to catch up on Jaws movies
  • beastee, on 06/27/2008, -2/+24Sorry Nike. These Suck!
  • specialK16, on 06/27/2008, -8/+271.21 JIGAWATTS!!!!
  • omercyme33, on 06/27/2008, -0/+18Now all we need to do is find a company to produce self-drying clothes.
  • TexasShiv, on 06/27/2008, -5/+23I would pay 1.21 jiggadollars for the real ones
  • ahawks, on 06/27/2008, -0/+16Well, it's not 2015 now, is it. Maybe they're waiting til the actual year. It would be pretty stupid to release the shoe in 2008, 7 years before the movie "predicted" it
  • Neiliosullivan, on 06/27/2008, -0/+14Screw the shoes I want the coat. Fits itself, drys itself, plenty of pockets...
  • dudefather, on 06/27/2008, -1/+14only a bojo would wear those
  • WallyAnti, on 06/27/2008, -0/+12Ugly as sin, but par for the course for Nike. Am I the only one who thinks Nike's look like you are wearing your toddlers toys for shoes.
  • ataylor32, on 06/27/2008, -0/+11http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28Wa5L-fkkM
  • scoottie, on 06/27/2008, -3/+13Nike has been making some ugly ass shoes for the past 10+ years

  • jedisushi, on 06/27/2008, -0/+10DO WANT. (Now what's it gonna take to get the DeLorean company back up and running?)
  • matrixbandit, on 06/27/2008, -0/+10Whatever, that's like $5 in 2008 dollars.
  • rossisdead, on 06/27/2008, -0/+8True. You do have to consider that the power-lacing shoes weren't just invented in 2015 though. They could have been around longer than that.
  • mywhitenoise, on 06/27/2008, -0/+8They don't look anywhere near as cool as the ones in the movie.
  • diggduggDOOM, on 06/27/2008, -2/+10jiggawhat?

  • trer, on 06/27/2008, -0/+6Actually they are up and running. Out of Houston I believe. In any case, you can buy a used one on ebay. plenty out there.
  • trer, on 06/27/2008, -1/+7"Now why don't you make like a tree...and get outta here."
    "It's make like a tree and LEAVE. You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong."
  • Coolmatt49, on 06/27/2008, -0/+6I can see that we don't have hover cars, hover boards, or even Hydrators, but NO POWER LACES?! It's 2008!!
  • Ansem, on 06/27/2008, -0/+6Inspired by? Not the actual thing? Phail. I need auto laces.
  • Lyght, on 06/27/2008, -0/+5Yep, De Lorean Motor Company of Texas is planning to build about 20 new DMC-12s per year, out of both new and original parts.

  • imhalfpirate, on 06/27/2008, -3/+7No self lacing? no thanks.
  • endlessoul, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4Oh, come on.

    Whoever buried the above poster has a lost their sense of humor.

    Dugg, diggdugg.
  • Pahtcub, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3Aren't they a little late for this marketing gimmic?
  • stuffradio, on 06/27/2008, -1/+4Nothing but a lightning bolt can produce that much power!
  • DirtPile, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3If this is a step towards Adidas releasing the team Zizou kicks, then I'm all for it.
  • TheWriteGuy, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3Finally -- the perfect shoes to wear with my inside-out jean pants.
  • contradictator, on 06/28/2008, -0/+3Every time a Back To The Future article hits the front page, I wonder if I'll ever get tired of all the references.

    Thankfully, that still hasn't happened yet.

    "I'm your density!"
  • jgaspar, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3can i put my finger in your ass?
  • spyd3rweb, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3Yes Nike had their chance and ignored it, now the coat is the cool thing.
  • seantubridy, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3Why don't companies understand that we want the exact things from the movies or shows. Like when they made underoos with pictures of superman on them instead of the big "S". No one wants a picture of the hero, they want to BE the hero. Just like these; we don't want something close to what was in the movie, we want the exact thing.
  • loquedesea, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3life aquatic. if you ever don't get a reference, try google:
