great shoes guys im proper jeaous:lol shame they never got to the uk!!:angry
Thanks Mike.Even though in 2015 I wll have a pair, I can't help but look on as many do to my collection with envy.
Man, if I didn't love other movies I would have been able to finacially by 10 of these shoes but, such is the way of collecting. I will have to create my own "accurate version" of this shoe and be satisfied with that.
I have to say that I still really like my Markpoon/Ptibull NIKE's. You're a great guy and you have always been a HUGE BTTF fan, and you will always have a warm place in my heart (see what I did there).

Re-watching BTTF 2. In the beginning, how does Marty know that they're "Power Laces"? Just wondering.
I'm not sure I understand your question.
When he first puts the shoe on, it closes up around his foot - then he says the line "power laces!" could be just a generic term his character made up on the spot.

Well yeah like if Power laces were the actual term, than why does he know it?

I'd say that's just taking a bit of 'poetic licensing' with the vernacular of the time.

I totally agree with GF on this. Marty saying "power laces, alright!" doesn't mean that's what they're officially called in 2015 and he just happened to know the name. It's a very generic term for what he saw the shoes do as he put them on, and that was his reaction. It would be the same thing if he looked up into the sky and was like, "wow, flying cars! alright!" (flying cars being a similar generic term)
Here's UPS' blog post about their part in the Nike Mags:

Okay, finally got this all pieced together. I have 14 different pieces of video I found on YouTube (all 9 of Nike's official videos, the couple of random videos linked from the website, MJF on David Letterman, and a 13-minute piece that has longer interviews and a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage of them filming the commercial). Most of it was 1080 23.98 framerate, so it converted to blu-ray nicely. A couple of them were 30 fps progressive, so I had to do a conversion to 23.98, so there's a tiny amount of jitter, but they are still watchable...
I whipped up a menu for it all, so you can select whichever one you want to watch (or just listen to the theme song...). For those with blu-ray drives in their computers, I'll include the original files from YouTube on the disc as well (and the Patent application Nike filed for the shoes :cool )
Shoot me a PM if you want a copy...
JUST FYI - I recieved my Mag pin in the mail today from Nike, so everyone who got the shoes should be expecting them any day now.,
Ohhh....and FINALLY got my Nike "It's About Time." T-Shirt today. This was an ebay snag - size small and I also have a size medium coming to me as well.
Had to take "mirror" pic, but you get the idea:

:lol
Why, because I'm a General?
Actually, people tell me I look like Nathan Fillion sometimes - maybe I should dress like Captain Hammer for Halloween?
Ya I think it may be the general thing. Like an old grizzled Vietnam vet lol
You could pull off a pretty good Clark Kent/Superman!
AWESOME :love
