With the adventure game out for a while and Nike pushing this out, could we be seeing a resurgence of the franchise? How many will even go out there and buy these shoes?
Is it time to go back?

DO WANT!

#3 Posted by ZimboDK (848 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Man, they really are quite ugly. That said, I might have to import several pairs. Huge BTTF fan.

#5 Posted by Toxin066 (3054 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Apparently, they self lace too.

#6 Posted by Hizang (8536 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

This will go nicely with my Back to the Future hat.

#7 Posted by kalmis (1512 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Very cool. Although not something I would wear

#8 Posted by sirdesmond (1110 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

I want some, regardless of ugliness or how well they fit my personal style.

exactly, I want them but I never want to wear them in public.

Want. Want. WANT!

#11 Posted by Hector (3204 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

I never thought I'd be one of those guys that goes crazy of a pair sneakers. I want these so badly!

Get back to me when Jaws 19 is in theaters, and cafes have cyber Ronald Reagan and cyber Michael Jackson.

Because I'll need to bet it all on the Cubs!

I'm in!

#14 Posted by Mr_Skeleton (4937 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

They are only about 25 years late.

#15 Posted by Nitrocore (244 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

How on earth are they going to sell all of those shoes?. I think they might have overestimated the demand for that specific model quite frankly.

Yeah. It's really kind of weird how they seem to have blinking lights and stuff but I think it's awesome. Like those books from the 60s imagining how the future would be.

Yes, auto lace is apparently a real thing with these.

THE FUTURE IS HERE PEOPLE!

#18 Posted by Arker101 (1470 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

I don't know, those shoes would definitely not be worn in public by me, but BTTF is so great, I'd get 'em if could.

#19 Posted by Yanngc33 (4472 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

The little chime at the beginning gets me everytime

#20 Posted by Gamer_152 (13252 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

They're hideous and I want them. Now, where's my self-drying jacket?

#21 Posted by 617_jbug (305 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

wasn't the Air Yeezy very similar to the Back to the Future design?

Great Scott! I NEED THESE NOW!

Sweet zombie Jesus!

#25 Posted by Buscemi (1106 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

YES.

#26 Posted by Vexxan (4553 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

I could use a pair of new shoes.

#27 Edited by LetsRockBaby (241 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Do sorta want, though I dunno if I'd wear it outside of my house. But to be honest, I've seen uglier, less awesome shoes worn in public.

#28 Posted by HandsomeDead (11863 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Hideous in all the right ways. Need.

#29 Posted by SeriouslyNow (8532 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

You know who needs to advertise these? Nintendo and Elijah Wood.

where and when!

#32 Posted by wickedsc3 (1046 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Goes to buy a pair.

#33 Posted by crusader8463 (13079 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

If they weren't so butt ugly, and will no doubt be ridiculously over priced given their connection to that movie, I would buy a pair.

#34 Posted by AckbarTheGreat (366 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

I need these...

#35 Posted by intoblivion (314 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

They did some sweet Deloren Air Force 1's a while back, tried to ebay some but I couldn't get any

#36 Posted by GorillaMoPena (736 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Apparently for 15 days they are selling 150 of them on eBay.

So start saving up

#37 Posted by Extreme_Popcorn (825 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Only 1500 pairs, all auctioned off and no power laces. I know all the money is going to the MJF Foundation but seriously, all that's going to happen is they are going to be bought by celebrity dicks who want the PR from it and who don't give two shits about the trainers, movie or MJF.

Fuck you Nike

#38 Posted by Zelyre (731 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Those shoes are so ugly, but the're from BTTF. If I want to use my hoverboard, I'll -need- a pair of these.

Man, this is heavy...

#39 Posted by Solh0und (1460 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Doc....you're telling me...that you made a time machine......out of a pair of shoes?

#40 Posted by wolf_blitzer85 (5177 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

I want them to start playing the main theme whenever they detect that other people are near by.

#41 Posted by Danteveli (798 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Looks ugly and I would love to have them but price would be the killer with only 1500 pairs.

#42 Posted by ryanwho (12083 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Nostalgia is fine and everything but high tops are mad stupid. I feel like this will just become part of the hipster uniform.

Or those movies from the 80's.

I will be watching these ebay auctions tonight, hopefully things get crazy.

Actually they're about 4 years too early. These are supposed to come out in 2015 but now THE TIMELINE HAS BEEN SPLIT INTO A NEW ALTERNATE REALITY!!

...Well that's just a regular pair of sneakers.

#46 Edited by MrKlorox (11082 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

4 years too early! This will cause a ripple effect that could tear the very fabric of our universe!

I remember the hoverboard but not the shoes

Yeah I'm really put off by the fact that the website doesn't even mention the laces.

#50 Posted by Metal_Mills (2806 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

No power laces! Fuck that shit.
