hey mcfly

These sneakers bear the bittersweet reek of unfulfilled potential.Longtime readers of this blog might recall my encounter last April with the McFLY 2015 project.

The project was launched by two Canadian brothers — Charles and Michael "Mickey" Maloof — as an effort to convince Nike to market the wicked shoes Marty McFly wears in "Back to the Future Part 2."

Why is this a good idea? Check out the YouTube clip below and it should be self-evident. Yup. The shoes tie themselves. If I could buy a pair, I totally would. I'd never again have to worry about tripping all over myself and having people point and laugh at me while I cry.
