Nike Air McFly to be released?!
We all remember the awesome pair of Nike shoes Marty Mcfly wore in Back To The Future II. They had a self locking lace system, they lit up, and they were just gangster. There was even an online petition for them to be retro’d that got a hell of a lot of signatures.
I was recently sent these pictures from an undisclosed source, and I immediately went and matched them up to the originals from the film. Although they look very similar, it’s clear they are not the same exact shoe. The only thing I can gather from this is that they may be a Nike prototype/sample which hopefully will see the light of release day at some point in the future. Even if only in extremely limited quantities, this would be absolutely amazing. We all remember the awesome pair of Nike shoes Marty Mcfly wore in Back To The Future II.

Always buying sneakers? It's the sign of a leader: poll
Got a passion for buying sneakers? It could be a good sign, with a poll finding that people who buy three pairs of sneakers or more a year are far more likely to be a leadership type that other people.
Mindset Media, a media company that examines personality traits of different consumers, found that people who buy more than three pairs of sneakers a year are 61 percent more likely to have the qualities of a modern leader.
These qualities were defined as having ideas and vision, and a style with others that is both inclusive and decisive.
The survey of 7,500 people, using market research group Nielsen's online panel, found multi-sneaker buyers were 50 percent more likely to be very assertive and 47 percent more likely to be spontaneous.
Lauren Arvonio, a spokeswoman for Mindset Media, said sneaker buyers were more likely to fly by the seat of their pants.
"It is often said you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they wear, and now we have some hard data to back that up," Arvonio told Reuters.
"What is interesting is that these personality traits held true across the board, regardless of age, income, or gender."
Previous Mindset Media surveys found that people who pay their credit card bills off each month were more likely to be "highly deliberate," thinking through their actions, but also less modest than others, likely to brag about their habits.
Hybrid car owners were found to be 78 percent more likely to be highly creative than other people and less dogmatic. Got a passion for buying sneakers? It could be a good sign, with a poll finding that people who buy three pairs of sneakers or more a ... more -

Walk On The Moon With Tecnica This Winter
Want to look like you just hung out with Marty McFly from Back To The Future II? Then you need these moon boots in your life. Tecnica of Giavera del Montello, Italy started making these futuristic winter boots in the early 1970's, trademarking the name "moon boot" in 1978. While these are the most official moon boots on the market, other brands have tried to bite the style that Tecnica has made so popular. My suggestion? Forget Uggs. Tecnica is the power move for the '07/'08. The colorways are crazy, and the feel is unlike no other. Scoop these at your nearest department store ASAP so you can keep warm on your next trip to the moon.
Oh, and for those men out there, unsure if your manliness will let you rock a pair of these, they are indeed unisex. Even Napoleon Dynamite had these on throughout the movie!

Alife Serves An Ace With Their Tennis Ball Sneaker!
I know, I said the same thing: "these are outright ridiculous." But after seeing these kicks with my own eyes at the Alife Rivington Store (SOHO, New York City), I quickly changed my mind. These are one of the most marvelous things one could slip onto their feet.
Talk about out of the box. Could you see yourself wearing shoes made of actual tennis ball felt!? These are even too futuristic for Leroy from the Jetsons. Plus, they can be pumped up to create a more comfortable fit. So if you were a size 9 and they only have 10's, pump these bad boys up and your ready for war. One serious drawback: the price. Good grief. Somebody find these for less than an arm and a leg, and I'll give you a Coke and a smile. I know, I said the same thing: "these are outright ridiculous."
