These are really sneakers for the Olympic basketball players who endorse Nike, which is inspired by the design of the McFlys. I guess Nike saw the response of people who noted that the Hyperdunks looked like the McFlys and they thought they could take advantage of it by releasing the 2015 colorway. Those shoes are ugly.

If you're going to make anything from that movie, give us Mr. Fusion - that's at least something people would want. And if you're still not pleased, go ahead and give us flying cars, giant forward-projecting holograms, weather control, and hoverboards.

Why would they want to weigh down the possible awesomeness of these shoes with bad karma? Bryant already wore a few pairs of the shoes in a game during the NBA Finals, and large amazed, lost the championship. nbsp; --> Posted by: nike | 07/3/08 | 9:03 pm | Kobe is definitely despised outside of LA ... Kobe fans are rare. That's why their were so much band wagon supporters for the Celtics this season. Nobody cares if the Celtics won, just that the Lakers needed to lose shit all of you who hates Kobe, look at yourself first, did your idol have the attitude of a good player? Asshole!!! No he hasn't. He is still the same person he was 5, 10, 15 years ago. Still the same selfish bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Anyone that praises him gets an ear full from me. He may be beloved in Cali, but he's a scrub in just about every other part of the state. Wake me up when the actual shoes with the actual laces from the movie are in production, otherwise, why are you wasting our time with shoes that don't remotely resemble the movie's? --> Posted by: Marty | 07/6/08 | 7:54 pm | No that's how they got to the championship in the first place.We just happened to see a team with three all stars. No one else on our team wanted to take a shot which makes things a few bit harder. By the way who was your team again mr. hmmm? Do they actually still play professional basketball? I thought that died out like the XFL. --> Posted by: jacob | 06/28/08 | 9:16 am | relax guys take these shoes for what they are…a good looking basketball shoe, i dont think auto lacing shoes are coming out anyhour soon, its only 2008, it was 2015 in behind to the future 2 so we still got 7 more years till we have that sort of technology obviously Subscribe to WIRED Registraten on or use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement (Revised 4/1/2009) and Privacy Policy (Revised 4/1/2009).

Boy, a lot of negativity here. Personally, I loved all three BTTF movies. However, these shoes don't look much like the ones in the movie and they don't auto-lace. . Wouldn't a better idea be to create some auto-laces which could be used in any shoe? I'd buy something like that. becoz kobe lost in the finals and it bothers u?! so lebron, iverson, d.wade shoes must bother you as well… lol Password: http://marqueesole.com/php/gra/product/P_124_2_Hyperdunk-McFly-2i.jpg --> Posted by: kray28 | 07/1/08 | 12:20 am | In terms of facts, you do realize that he's the NBA's 4th highest earner off of endorsements lonely don't you? --> Posted by: nikiick | 06/30/08 | 4:33 pm | This is all really quite pointless isn't it? If Nike has to rely on some self assimilateed player of African Tree Hocky to sell shoes it is in real trouble. The shoes are iffy at best and the self lacing feature are a true who-cares parlor trick for the kids in the "hood" to kill each other for. I'll pass, thank you. good call zeph..

They're fucking nothing like the original. Not high enough! Great. So, they're planning to introduce shoes that were loosely inspired by a movie that was a summer hit several decades ago? Shoes that look a bit similar, but which don't have the actual cool features? And /Wired/ is writing a non-ironical article about it? NBA 2K9 Adds 'Living Rosters' Customer Service If they are comfortable, light weight, breathable, and give good support for walking, running, and standing… … I am fine. Who cares, who the spokesman for them is, or what movie they are copied from. Also I am glad to see that there is an all black version, so that I can wear them with my robe. --> Posted by: mike |
