I know how much the community on this website loves to hear about the somewhat strange and yet awesome cross selling tie-ins that the TRANSFORMERS MOVIE has caused.
Well, here is some good news for those of you hated the idea of a plastic toy shoe Transformer because you couldn't wear them.
NIKE and Transformers announced back in February that they would be releasing NIKE brand wearable shoes with related Transformers colors, symbols, and names.
These will now become available for purchase in three different styles!
Here are the three styles shown (NIKE Air Trainer III, NIKE Air Max 90 Boot, and the NIKE Air Trainer Huarache):
You can see more images here at Freshnessmag.com.
It is guessed that the first shoe is based off of Optimus Prime colors, the second is guessed to be Starscream colored, and the third, is thought to be Megatron (or Galvatron).
You may notice that there is a lack of Autobot or Decepticon symbols on these. The original designs shown in the news did indeed have the symbols, but the page linked to for the original pics no longer posts them. It looks like the faction symbols just could not make the final cut for the shoe designs.
I don't know about you, but I kind of like these funky colors, but I'm a lover or NIKE shoes and Transformers. So if you go out shopping tomorrow, and happen to see any of these TF styled NIKEs, would you let us know what store they were located in? Thanks.
Autobot shoes tie-on and run out!
Decepticon shoes, we'll never retreat from the competition!
And of course, stay tuned to Seibetron.com News for more developments on Transformers merchandise.
