Lifelounge has been following Canadian brothers Charles and Michael "Mickey" Maloof's progress on trying to petition Nike USA to commercially make the Nike 2015, or Nike Air McFly hightops that were so famously worn by Michael J Fox in the all time classic 1989 movie Back to the Future Part 2.
Well Mickey contacted me this week with the news that they have made them, kind of... They are not a TRUE representation of the shoes, but they are pretty friggin' close. CNBC has reported on them, UNDFTD hasan exclusive launch of them (few pics courtesy of Hypebeast) and even Gizmodo are onto it. This is like the Ferris Buler of shoes, geeks, bloods, jocks and even cool kids like them.
When I asked Michael what he thought about the shoes he had this to say: "The Nike Hyperdunks might be inspired by the McFly 2015’s, but the Nike Hyperdunks are not the McFly 2015’s. We strongly encourage each and everyone who wants the ‘real’ McFly 2015’s to sign up on the official McFly 2015 project Web site."
I like them, I like them a lot, what I do not like however is that there is a pair on eBay already for $2,000. That is just fucking stupid. Also that they are only releasing 1,000 pairs.
Hmmmmm.
Check out all the pics to the right for more. Fresh.
