Back To The Future Nike McFly Sneaker Prototype Turns Up Online
Last year we heard about one man’s quest to get Nike to release the futuristic self-lacing shoes featured in the movie Back To The Future II. Although you may be thinking to yourself, “Aren’t these shoes like… not real?”, it hardly seems to matter. Plenty of special shoes featured in films have found their way into the hands of collectors, from Forrest Gump’s Nike Cortez to Rocky’s Chuck Taylors. Although online petitions for the shoe had amassed a large number of signatures, Nike still seemed to be ignoring the demand, but now a sneaker prototype leaked to the web seems to indicate that the Air McFly may finally see the light of day! Although there has been no official word on the matter, and it is quite possible that these images are fake, they do look very close to the original movie prop. If it’s a fan-made job, then it’s a pretty impressive one. Head over to Sneaker Hunt to give them a look, and then head back over to the McFly 2015 website to place a theoretical order for the shoes.

The stuff on Digg (which was re-posted on metafilter and other sites) was not fact checked at all. The shoes are not being released. That’s why there’s an official website of the McFLY 2015 project, http://www.mcfly2015.com
P.S.: The fakes are not sneakers! They’re fakes made by some kid in his mom’s basement.
Posted by Michael on April 20th, 2007Wow. Those are pretty impressive fakes. Great for collectors! The kid should start a little factory!
Posted by Marina on April 20th, 2007Thanks for the update Michael. I had a feeling they were fake but still deserving of some attention I suppose.
