Well… They’re not the exact sneakers from the movie (shame) but they certainly are influenced by them.  This doesn’t bother me so much because the kicks are fresh as hell, but still, you thought Nike would have learned from the Air Tech Challenges.  Nike re-released the original Air Tech Challenges lsat spring in an ugly ass mustard colour instead of the beautiful lime green. People were pissed, the shoes ended up in outlets around the country so for the ATC II they left everything the same, the people rejoiced, they sold out quickly.  People have been asking for the Marty McFly Nike’s for decades now and this is the closest Nike has come to reproducing them.  It might be the closest they ever come and I think consumers are afraid of this.

The shoes are limited edition Hyperdunks and they boast the same weird high ankle section that is reminiscent of the originals.  They also have the “Back to the Future” logo arrows and “2015″ printed in an awesome hot lava colour on the tongues.  Sources are saying they will be out by the end of the summer but no word yet on the size of the run or who will be retailing them. Oh yeah, the powerlaces are not included; maybe for the real replicas.  Check eBay often because the first pairs of demos should be showing up there first.
