Back to the Fucking Future

Okay. So it seems that there are still some people in this world that haven't seen the Back to the Future trilogy. I have no idea what goes on in people's minds that haven't seen the wonders of the Flux Capacitor in all its glory. The first installment is maybe the greatest movie ever, part two is equally as good and features THE FUTURE, whilst three well, I remember seeing it in the cinema as a lad and it had always been a slight disappointment. But still, if you've been following my blog you'll know I LOVE Back to the Future, and if Zak Efron thinks he is getting a hold of the franchise to ruin it like Spielberg allowed with that stupid Indy flick and the sub-par Star Wars flicks then unfortunately, I will declare war. You have been warned Dry School Musical fag...

Fucking the Future

Remember these Nike Mag's that Marty McFly had in Back to the Future II? (The self tightening laces in ths scene were apparently achieved by there being holes in the set floor that the straps in the shoes were pulled down thru to make it seem as if they had been automatically tied)



Well, a right foot of a pair came up on eBay recently...

...and went for $5,300.00

I love the shoe and think that isn't too steep a price for what is, a) a piece of cinematic history from one of the greatest movies ever made (okay, the first one is better but hey) and b) it's the only one I've ever seen on eBay and I've been keeping an eye out for one to come up for quite some time.

Anyway, so coincidentally Nike have given Kobe Bryant a new signature shoe that's based on the original Air Mag (however, when I saw the write up on the Hyperdunk in the new Nike pop-up store it didn't even mention the homage)

But does it suck? Would you even wear the one Marty wore? Does anyone really give a fuck? No? A lot of fucking nerds outside UNDFTD would disagree...



I hate those guys universally and infinitely, bet not one of them even wears them. Probably explains why they're like $1000 resale price. Fuck off and die socially inept sneaker collectors, do you think queuing for shoes is cool? Is it a cog in the evolution of mankind?
