Sneakerographer Al Cabino has an insane petition going to bring back those bitchin' Nike hi-tops seen in Back to the Future II. Director Robert Ryang has even compiled a lil' video for it.

That's funny, I saw an ebay auction a week or two ago where someone had re-created the shoes.
Dear Al,
All about it. I'm a 27-year-old, conceptual designer. Last week during a socializing brainstorm, that included a couple of design friends, I brought up how I'd like to see that nike actually made. Even if the laces are not robotically inclined, I'm sure people would be happy enough to have a pair, that they would not mind lacing the kicks themselves. That is. . . as long as some minimal form of LED technology was incorporated as well.
Anyway, When longboarding with my crew is an option ("and you know . . .we roll deep"), most of the time I'd rather have a hoverboard. It's gotten to the point were one guy will say, "hoverboards man." Next thing you know a couple other guys will say, "hoverboards man," or just, "hoverboards." It's basically the one recreational device that we are all dying to get our feet on.
Sincerely,
Christopher Phoenix Johnson
