If you’ve been looking to own a pair of your own Back to the Future II-esque self-tying kicks, you have a few options. You can make a pair yourself, you can wait for Nike to release a real pair or now you can buy the actual shoes worn by Marty McFly in the film. The sneakers will be auctioned off at the Hollywood Memorabilia Auction 42 for an estimated $12,000 – $15,000. Or you can just use your DeLorean to... Continue reading

A few weeks back we posted about a homemade pair of Back to the Future II style sneakers which were controlled through an Arduino microcontroller. The premise was good and so was the effort, but the motor on the back of the shoes was just too much of an eyesore to be practical. But we might be seeing a much prettier version, a version you won’t be ashamed to show off for your friends, sometime soon. Nike has patented the... Continue reading

This is some extreme papercrafting. David Brownings created these pretty realistic-looking kicks using nothing but colored paper. I’d actually rock them if I knew they’d last longer than a few steps.

This Haute Charcuterie pair of Nike Air Force 1s puts the pedal to the metal and the metal to the muscle. Designer BlackYard created these anatomical pair of Nikes, which divides your foot into prime slices of meat. I’m sure this has some sort of snazzy concept, like “Oh, Nike is just one of those corporations filled with porky pigs.” But honestly, this just makes me want to buy a new pair of shoes.

Trust me, I know how important it is to see all of your surroundings when you’re biking. When I was 12 I was hit by a drunk driver. I can only think of what might have happened if I had been able to see what was going on around me. Would I have been able to avoid the hit? The Nike Hindsight concept glasses give bikers an extra 25% visual range on each side of their peripheral vision. That’s a... Continue reading

I know, I know. This golf club from Nike has a name longer than a ’67 Cadillac. But with good reason. This $540 (MSRP) driver from Nike is supposed to be the best of the best, the creme de la creme of drivers. Tiger uses one, so why shouldn’t you? Nike sent us one to try out for the weekend, so we took it to Golf Galaxy in Mount Laurel, New Jersey and put it to the test.

Nothing is known about ‘em but these are without a doubt the most limited edition Nikes to hit the planet. Link

Using an Arduino, hacker knowledge and a Nike+ iPod Serial to USB adapter, Nathan Seidle was able to rig up a system that constantly checks for his keyfob. When Nate gets close enough to his car, it opens up. When he walks away, it locks. The system worked flawlessly until he realized that while at work, the car would randomly lock and unlock due to his pacing around the office. The fix? Aluminum foil. A classic solution to blocking radio... Continue reading

Oh me! Oh my! Let’s get down, people! Originally made back in 1979, these Nike Killshot trainers are making a comeback in a really nice color scheme. I love how the maroon is dominant in surrounding the subtle gray and creme tones. They’ll certainly look awesome with a pair of jeans. If you can find a pair (they’re limited reissue), be prepared to drop $100 on them. Link
