The Best News Since 1989
Sep 9th
Morning all,
How about some great news right before the weekend? Okay, here we go! It’s what we’ve been waiting for since that fateful first time we all watched Back To The Future II. No, sorry, nobody will be mass producing hover boards. And no, Doc Brown and the DeLorean still haven’t hit 88MPH. But what’s the next best thing? YES! You’re correct! Marty McFly‘s kicks from Back To The Future II are finally coming to the mass public. Sure, in the flick he doesn’t get them until 2015, but I guess we’re a bit ahead of schedule.

The kicks look like they will be a variation of an Air Force model with some additional technololgy embedded into the tongue that will allow sneaker fan to either press or fold or do something to make them light up.
Yes. Ridiculous. But Yes. Awesome.

Rivals in real life and puppet form
The Muppets, Sesame Street, various movie characters like Yoda and practically everyone in Dark Crystal, Jim Henson and his brilliant puppets have been in and out of our lives since… Well, before I can remember. But I never really saw this coming. I’m a bit of a basketball junkie, but mostly just the college game; until this year. The NBA Playoffs have been amazing (yeah I just did that) so far. The Chicago-Boston series really got everything off to a good start and now my man D-12 is pummeling his way through LBJ to the Finals. Storylines aside, the More >
