Those are far out! Too far out to wear on the town, but those are definitely coppable! They would add fire to any collection, but if you want something to actually wear, check out those House of Hoops Soundwaves... well if you can find em for under $500 (damn resellers!)..

Those house of hoops shoes were sold out in less than a day pretty much. I hope they get reissued. Scalper prices are terrible. Moreover, i want these CJ Megatron shoes! Grid from packaging! sick!

I want these but $200 (w/tax) is too rich for my blood. Not worth it to hunt for it on black Fri. either. Sounds like a nightmare. Tryin to save up for a trip at the end of the month too. After MP Prime and FOC combaticons - kinda tapped out too. All caught up for the yr. -no more $ on toys/collectibles.

NIKE LAUNCHES CALVIN JOHNSON'S CJ81 COLLECTION INSPIRED BY MEGATRON


Nike celebrates a long-standing weekend of football and an athlete that has truly transformed the game.


NOVEMBER 21, 2012

Image


In celebration of Thanksgiving weekend, Nike celebrates a long-standing weekend of football and an athlete that has truly transformed the game. The Nike CJ81 Collection Inspired by Megatron speaks to WR Calvin Johnson’s rare combination of physical talent and mental toughness. This menacing combination creates a prototypical specimen that undoubtedly deserves a moniker like Megatron. Much like the fictional character, Johnson relies on his uncanny ability to pull out an arsenal of physical strengths or “weapons” based on anything he encounters on the field.

The collection, inspired by the Hasbro Transformers character created in 1984, features iconic Nike silhouettes across lifestyle, training and performance including the CJ81 no no no Flyposite, CJ81 Nike Huarache Free Shield, CJ81 Nike Vapor Jet Glove 2.0, CJ81 Nike Vapor Football Sock, CJ81 Nike True Adjustable Hat, and the CJ81 Nike KO Hoody.

Merging the old and new, the traditional Transformers grid pattern and colors of black, silver, purple and blue from the original Megatron packaging, help highlight the CJ81 logo design.

The limited collection will be available starting November 23 at several Nike retail locations as well as Nike Yardline at Champs Sports and Eastbay online.

So I'm guessing the weird Decepticon logo is this guy's personal logo?

I don't want to turn this into something it's not, but how is this that much different than what third-party companies do and where are those that are so opposed to third-party companies? I don't see anywhere where this a collaboration between Nike and Hasbro, but they are using a faction symbol that is clearly derived from the Transformers brand, the name Megatron, and they even fully acknowledge what they are doing. Is the faction symbol a direct copy of the Decepticon symbol? No, but is Hercules a direct copy of any existing Devastator design? Again the answer is no. I just find it interesting that when a third-party company puts out a figure we always hear about how they're ripping off Hasbro, but isn't Nike doing the same thing here? Unless of course there is some deal in place between the companies, but if that were the case I would imagine we would see some Hasbro branding on this stuff.

For the record, I think this stuff is awesome and would love to get that hoodie!

This is an actual, legit collabo?

Weird. I mean good on TF/Nike for the effort, but it's just done in such an odd way. It's almost like a knock-off collection instead of a licensed collabo piece.
