What if the time traveling DeLorean broke down just as Marty McFly was about to reach 88 MPH? According to this $19 t-shirt design, he’d have to take the time traveling bus. Or he could settle for a hike through time on that hoverboard of his, though he wouldn’t get far.
Just when you thought that the presence of Back To The Future movie apparel couldn’t be any more abundant, in comes perhaps the coolest piece of gear in the entire film (next to the Delorean). Marty McFly’s very own hover board from the second and third installments of the trilogy has made an appearance on eBay. For a starting bid of just $30,000, you can be sure it’ll go for much more with all the fanboys bidding.
As it’s only a wooden movie prop, the board won’t actually hover, of course. After buying it for thirty grand, you’ll probably feel like an idiot.
I don’t know about you, but I happen to think the Back To The Future trilogy is one of the greatest achievements of modern cinema. The only thing I didn’t like about it is how the whole world is supposed to end if Michael J. Fox meets Past or Future Michael J. Fox, but when Jennifer meets Future Jennifer nothing really happens. That part sucked.
Anyway, remember in Back To The Future 2 when Michael J. Fox is in the year 2015 and he has the really kickass sneakers that tie themselves? Of course you do. They were really kickass. Turns out, you’re not the only one who loved those shoes. Fans of the kicks put a petition online in order to start “a grassroots movement to get Nike to make available to consumers the futuristic-looking sneakers seen in the 1989 movie Back to the Future Part 2.” Back To The Future fans dubbed the shoes the “McFly 2015″ after the the name of Fox’s character Marty McFly. Hip Hop star Kanye West even got in on the action by having Takashi Murakami draw a bear wearing the sneakers on the cover of his album Graduation. This month, Nike finally released the Air McFlys– sort of.
