I’m sure that these’ll cost more than I’m willing or able to pay, but it’s nice to see one of your childhood dreams actually make it from the movie screen to the real world in some fashion. If only Powell Peralta would get off their asses and perfect that hoverboard technology the Doc promised us…


It appears that an inspired-by version of the Official Shoes of Wired’s Gadget Lab, the Nike McFly 2015’s, will be made available by the end of July and will be renamed as the Nike Hyperdunks. I know what you’re thinking (Chicken, McFly!), but get a hold of yourself. They won’t include the awesome air-pressurized auto-lacing mechanism from Back to the Future II.

Instead, the shoes will include so-called ‘Flywire technology,’ which is really PR-speak for the latest and greatest of ultra light materials. They sport the same high-ankle boot style of the original movie, and will be available in late July.
