Want. Right now.
Looks cooler than the sp. ed. Megatron shoes from 2-3 yrs. ago - Footlocker exclusive. I really wanted the Soundwave shoes from that set, but those sold out the first night. People were in line for em. I hope they rerelease and I hope these CJ shoes are made available to the public

I live in Atlanta and am a pretty big Falcons fan. A couple seasons ago when Detroit was in town to play the Falcons, the announcer commented how Calvin Johnson aka Megatron was being covered by the then cornerback Brent Grimes aka Optimus Grimes (local announcers dubbed him that before this game). Thus, you had Megatron vs. Optimus Grimes!
I thought it was pretty cool for the announcer to point that out and mention it during the broadcast!

For some reason I like those shoes. I'm not going to wait in a mile long line for them, but if I happen to come across them I might pick up a pair.

Cool-looking shoes, but I don't know if I'd wear them. They're a bit too out-there for me.
You know, when I first saw the 'Con symbol on the front of the tongue there, it reminded me a fair bit of Vortex's face.

Why does it say 81 on them? Johnson was born in 85. Also, why is his nickname Megatron?

81 is his jersey number, I have no idea how he got the nickname though.

A former Lions WR Roy Williams gave him that nickname because he is "an unbeatable machine at wide out. He's a damn robot. Megatron." (I'm paraphrasing here).
When the Lions play other teams with young and over-eager secondarys they will readily try to apply the nickname "Optimus Prime" to themselves. It rarely works out as CJ is just too tall, too fast and too good.
Example: http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2012/10/25/optimus-prime-richard-sherman-seahawks-calvin-johnson-megatron/1657505/ Also, this is a great article. It seeps with Transformer puns and wordplay. A true fan of the franchise wrote this article for USA today.

At the very least, Nike should give Frank Welker a pair!!
