I stayed at my gf's last night and so today I'm still wearing my battered old converse allstars which let in water. After my walk in this morning and stepping in a slushy puddle at lunchtime I will have to buy some new shoes after work today as I'm going to a gig straight from work tonight.
What should I buy? I want trainers not 'school shoes'
I want marty mcfly's shoes, becuase he rules. What is the nearest of the nike reissues to these:
any other ideas?
sorry for such a facile thread but I want to be quick after work so I thought I'd plan ahead.

those are Nike 'bruins' and they should be on reissues, though you may have to get hi-tops.

haha johndiggity I signed that petition a while ago. Last I heard there were 22,000 signatures on there and they still haven't made them. Imagine what twat you'd look wearing those boots though, would only happen in shoreditch.

incidentally, that shoe was my first Nike, I was so happy I went to bed with a torch so I could keep looking at them. This would have been in 1985.
The closest you would get to his future shoes would be Nike Vandals in silver.

those bruins are all new and updated with an air bubble. Do they not make the original?

that's all you need!

blazers are the mid version of the bruin. and those bruins i posted are the air bruins, so not sure if the original are still in production.
- Baskerville0
no I'm pretty sure they're bruins.
Still, it was just a suggestion because marty wore them.
I'm open to any shoe ideas, as long as they are pretty waterproof (ie not suede of canvas)

(Feb 8 07, 07:07)haha good point! i forgot you said you wanted them today.

I haven't owned any nikes since I was about 15. I work with a guy who collects them. No life for a grown man.
I just need some cheapish nice shoes that will keep my feet warm.

(Feb 8 07, 07:24)Those are great! I've always wanted to look like a fat american tourist! I'll be sure to wear them with some baggy beige dockers and an extra large, ill-fitting foam baseball cap!

there warm and comfy and don't let the snow in, normally come with a tan swoosh rather then gold tho..
