The Nike Dunk DeLorean dropped on Black Friday and I’m guessing they were sold out the same day too. Created as a salute to the Back to the Future series every geek and non-geek loves, these kicks are ill in any year past, present or future Doc Brown could possibly bring you.
Influenced by the DMC-12′s aerodynamic design and trademark characteristics, Nike reinterpreted the car’s sleek stainless steel exterior into a matte silver, no-sew constructed upper while also taking cues from the gull-wing doors on the bottom eyestay. The shoe’s outsole references the Delorean’s tail lights and the DMC-12′s rear window shades reappear as graphic lines on the heel replacing the traditional stitches. Meanwhile, the Belfast stamp on the tongue is a nod to the Irish factory that originally produced the vehicle.
Yes, yes, and one more yes! If you can find these, cop these.If you can’t, built a time machine and go back to Black Friday. Just remember, “If you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?”
