Sneakers. Back to the Future. Lego. What more do you want?
You probably can’t decide which is worse: That you can’t afford a pair of Nike Mags, or that Nike finally made Marty McFly’s Back to the Future II shoes, but still couldn’t be bothered to give them self-lacing closures.
Lack of funds didn’t stop Alex Jones. He decided he had to have a Nike Mag, so he did what any self-respecting nerd would — he built one from Lego. And not only did he render the sneaker in plastic bricks, he managed to add the glowing lights of the movie original, and even to make a section of Marty’s hover-board for it to sit on.
It’s funny. It wasn’t until I saw Alex’s rendering of the board that I realized just how 1980s-looking is this view of 2015. It’s like the old fifties sci-fi movies filled with spaceships that look like quaint, retro diner-kitsch today.
Alex aka Orion Pax isn’t selling his plastic shoe, nor is he offering instructions for download. If you want one of these, you’re going to have to dig through your Lego box and work it out yourself.
