FirstCuts: McFly Hyperdunks Release In LA; Flux Capacitor Included With Kicks

Jul 3, 2008, 6:15 PM UTC

Easily one of the most anticipated releases of the year hit at Undefeated in Santa Monica yesterday. With sneakerheads lined up the night before, the shoes finally found their ways into customers’ hands on Wednesday for $240. A few of the lucky ones who camped and waited for hours in line got an extra treat: Kobe Bryant showing up to autograph a few pairs.â†µ

â†µâ†µBut really, the Kobe autographs were secondary. The shoes were the real stars on Wednesday in Santa Monica. â†µ

â†µAlthough there were pictures of the shoe on the web, the details that have emerged from some of the ridiculous eBay auctions -- (I won't link to 'em, they don't need the free advertising) -- are truly impressive.â†µ

â†µâ†µAmong the things you’ll find if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a pair: tissue paper that reads “Great Scott!!”, insoles that are styled to look like the hoverboard from the Back To The Future series, and ... wait for it ... a flux capacitor is hidden under the insole.â†µ

â†µâ†µNike screws up its fair share of stuff when they retro old products. But the detailing on the shoes is impressive. Enjoy all the product shots and be sure to check out the new Hyperdunk commercial making the rounds. â†µ

â†µâ†µFor those who missed out, the rumors on the message boards seem to indicate NikeTown Los Angeles will be the next place to get the McFly Hyperdunks. Get your camping gear now and be ready for July 12.â†µ

â†µâ†µAnd last but not least, check out the latest Hyperdunk ad. (And yes, you can call the phone number on the end of the commercial. It is real.)â†µ
