Nike releasing Marty McFly Bruins on 10/21

Go with the heel to toe length, that is correct & has never let me down, especially with Nike.

I'm 24.8cm which would put me closer to a 25cm US7/UK6, however, with the Bruin, the 24.5 US6.5/UK6 fits me better as the width on the size up is too great. There's also at least 1cm spare in the toe area.

I'd say you'd be okay with a UK6 25cm as they do seem to run a half size larger but ultimately you let call. Also, they look better when they're a tad smaller due to the style. I can measure mine tonight for you if you like & do a comparison.

Also, for some reason, the 24.5 & 25cm are both considered UK 6 by Nike, the difference being a half US size.

These are a UK6 / US7 25cm, they have a 27.8cm heel to toe externally & a 25.2cm internally. These would be your size I imagine, as they will stretch. A size up would go very baggy as they're really soft leather too.

Where did you get the board? I had that same one as a kid flying down the street
with my life preserver on listening to the BTTF soundtrack on my Aiwas those were the days !!!!!
 
So I did a close up comparison of the quality of the OFFICIAL bruins deadstock and the reproduction bruins. Now upon close review Nike did a really good job. The pairs have slight differences but overall i give the repos a B+. The material quality of the repos compared to the originals are night and day. The repos materials just seem very cheap and soft.If i poke my repos it's like poking one of those nerf footballs lol best way i can describe it. The leather on the originals are WAY better quality HANDS DOWN. Anyway enjoy the pics and I am very happy with the repos.

::pICS STILL TO COME::

Nike made a big deal about the leather on the repos being their premium leather & ridiculously soft, I'm guessing this is why it's not just the same generically horrible hard leather used on most of their current releases.

I can't compare it to the OGs as I don't own a pair, however, it's infinitely nicer than the leather used on the majority of their range & the few hundred pairs of Jordan's & other Nike high-ends that I've collected over the years.
 
Just won a pair of Bruins on eBay for $212,50
( $192.50 (+- 179 euro) + $20 shipping )

:D:D:D:p:p:p

Shipping from France,
no import charges then !!!!!!:D

It could have been a worse price, if you see the listings of Bruins on eBay these days,
I think I got an "ok" price.

And it's in my size !!!! ( size US7/Uk6/EUR40, at least I think it fits, ;))
Thanks to @NickyMabbs for the size comparison !!!:thumbsup
Also a big thanks for helping : @Diana88 & @MattgomeryBurns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting bid was $150, yesterday one person made a bid ( he had zero feedback )
then today I made a bid of $165 with 30 seconds remaining.
I was immediately overbid by the same person.
So with 10 seconds remaining I bid $195 and won the auction.

Maybe it was the seller with another account that increased the bid.
I've read this happens frequently on eBay.

Hey everyone! Been lurking in these forums for a while but I thought it was worth posting now! BTTF is my all time favorite movie since I was a little kid and I was super bummed out when like many of you I tried so hard to get a pair of these Bruins on the US launch date . My wife had multiple browsers open and tried to add them to our cart only to be met with the out of stock message. Well I finally scored a pair on eBay for $225 I really didn't want to give money to the scalpers but I had to have these iconic kicks! Anyway sorry for the long post but I'm happy most of you guys all got at least one pair of these. Even though the scalpers are making a major come up!
 
Hi booshman!
I got a pair today you sent, but it looks like you sent me shoxxos size UK 7!

Can you check your pm.
I wonder if shoxxo is receiving my UK 9s?!
