“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.
But while it’s cool to know that a version of the shoes will become available, there’s one thing about this development that’s a bit bothersome: Kobe Bryant is the main spokesman for the sneaks.
Kobe is not only one the most hated players in basketball, but someone who has been described by various people as ’shady,’ ‘unprofessional,’ and ’selfish.’ 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 big surprise, lost the championship.
Admittedly, we’re a bit possessive of the McFly shoe and only want to see it in its ideal future form. And yes, Kobe has actually redeemed himself as a person and a player in recent years. Perhaps, having the similar design of the shoe available now might inspire a gifted DIY’er to create the self-lacing mechanism to finally create the shoes as they were meant to be”

why you kobe? why?!
Kobe’s a beast, hes unstopable. Everyone trashes him because they cant stop him. Idk how i feel about the shoes though, i need to see them in person to decide, i dont think they look enough like the movies shoes.
kobe’s a beast, and he didnt rape that trick, she just wnated publicity … shes are ugly tho
shoes*
any word on where these are gonna be droppin…
the shoes look decent but don’t look enough like the movie ones
They straight…
Who wrote this little “snippet” about the shoe? I’ve never seen such bias work done on nikesb before; an article about a shoe that has two out of five paragraphs devoted to hating on Kobe Bryant. And “NO”, it was not justified by having one sentence stating Kobe has redeemed himself over the years…. The shoes are pretty nice and Nike would never release a pair of auto lacing shoes (as much as we would want it), there is just too much liability and you could just see the lawsuits coming in for the dumbest things. Oh yah, the article…..FAIL
i will have to agree with sjr13…stop bashing kobe, the article should be about the shoe not what ppl think about kobe…stop hating!!!!
as sjr13 puts it
“Oh yah, the article…..FAIL”
the shoes is straight but quit hatin on kb24. i hate hearing folks say he suck and he selfish. shit u woul dtake more shots 2 if yo teamates aint comin 2 play. kobe is the best player on earth
Hey, you put in “’shady,’ ‘unprofessional,’ and ’selfish.’ ” to describe him…
what about ‘most talented player in the game’?
I WANT THESE SOOOOOOO fk BADD!!! and i will have my hands on a pair no matter what!!! haha i dont think u kids have met a bigger back to the future fan than sport!
if anyone can pick me up a pair ill pay good money! PM ME!
someone call me i am VERY SERIOUS abotu getting these off one of you who go out there! number is 4076970026!
fuck whoever wrote this. why you mad at kobe for?
i have confirmation that kobe will be the surprise guest. comes from a reliable source from undefeated.
I really don’t give a shit about the kobe drama I just wish they’d give us what we wanted as opposed to using what we wanted to hype up their new shoe. I wanted an actual McFly not just the nike that looked the most like it in a “McFly” Colorway. If it doesn’t light up, I’ll be really pissed.
alot of places got them and already sold out there goin for hella money though like $2015
They Will Be On sale today July 2nd at Undftd Santa Monica,,,

who cares who the sponsor is you douchebags?the shoes still look the same…plus kobe’s the shit anyways
these are horrible! have you guys seen the movie??? these look nothing like the movie version and should NOT be named after the McFly’s. All they did was take the Huarache platform and tweak it a little bit. If I were Robert Zemeckis, I would take legal action to make sure these have NO affiliation with the McFly’s.
NIGGA, KOBE, TELL ME HOW MY ASS TASTE!
these kicks are too nice
why is kobe even mentioned? the shoes are fucking hype tho
yo these shoes are just aight but, really they aint shit!! I mean Damn if you gonna make the “Mcflys” make them the same as they are in the movie.
they already dropped in early july. i wana kno wen ther coming out on the east coast. and kobe is the truth. he beats whole teams by himself lol.
not gonna front these shoes r cool and kobe got 3 rings.
-Ignores Kobe focus
Ehh, the customs that had come out earlier are ten times better, but nonetheless, these are legitimte enough. Lightin’ up would be cool, a little childish, but still somewhat respectable. The tongue is phenomenal tho.
t0 tell y0u the truth its a brilliant idea f0r a “BASKETBALL SHOE” but n0t f0r like a SB sh0e 0r street sh0e! these sh0es are 2 hyped mainly cuz every1 think there the new Marty Mcflys but there n0t! its just a basketball sh0e sh0win a lil bit 0f sample fr0m the McFLYS!
…. and reas0n why k0bes hated s0 much is because hes triumphant in all is 0bsticles lately xcept the champi0nship! but this man has transf0rmed int0 a beast s0 much this year 0f c0urse theres g0nna be m0re HATE t0wards him n0w! YOU THiNk THiS YEAR HE’s HATED? PSSHH iMAGiNE NEXT YEAR LOL!
they are pretty cool and they kinda remind me of jordans
The shoes are ok and all the kobe haters.Hi Haters!!!!! Behind every successful person, lies a pack of haters.
these shoes are wack and so is Kobe Bryant, suck suckitie suck suck suck for both.
Whatever the guy sold out Shaq in seconds how can you respect a man like that…..
AHAHHAHAH KOBE IS A PUNK, NO HEART, CELTICS EXPOSED HIM, PUNK MOFO! AHAHAHAHHA 39 PT BEATING IN THE GAME 6, PUNK NO HEART CLOWN
yo these shoes ight i gotta see them up close and personal namean. But like alot of people said they dont look enough like the originals. It would be mad dope if they were way higher, like that right there makes the shoe so unique from any other shoe. The ones that are being displayed look like typical basketball shoes. Back to the drawing board?
fuck kobe he is a ball hawk and he is the reason why big dissel and his wife is on the rope with there marriage rat ass bitch they should let someone like baron davis be the poster boi for the shoe
yo. these things are nothin like the shoes in back to the future. if they wanted to look like them, they have another 6 inches to grow. these shoes are kinda ugly too. it be better if tey looked just like the ones in the movie.
those shoes are hot i would definetly hoop in them
wow..dope concept and design on the sneaker. But i thing it wouldve been better if it was the skytop supras!!!! Or just regular DUNKS becuz of there high tongue.
all you pussies that want a cool back to the future shoe and are hating on kobe shove it up your ass. none of you can acomplish in 100 lifetimes what kobe has done in his. this shoe was made for basketball not some nerd queers.
