Transformers NIKE Brand Shoes To Go On Sale Tomorrow!

Posted by Tigertrack Aug 8, 2007 at 7:53pm CDT 46,265 views
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. Enter 'The NIKE Transformers Pack'.

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.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

They don't seem the same without the logo's on them...

Colours are really funky though, I would love to see a Jazz, Wheeljack based shoe though...

But are your Harley Davidson boots cross sell products with Transformers?

If not, then well, you have your answer.

I think he meant he only wants a pair of two of them. :-?

Anywho, I think this was a good idea, but if I were to spend any money on one, it would be the Optimus Prime one. :grin:

I'm in agreement on that, and I appreciate you taking it as a joke autobot comander.

EDIT: Now that I look closer, I think I could like the AIR MAX pair also, but the purple shoe strings have got to go!!! :P

Fricking lame without the symbol. These could have been so cool. I might have bought a pair of each.
besides the name, they don't say anyhthing about Transformers on them,
LAAAAMMMMMEE!

I guess I'll have to make my own Transformers shoes.

These might be appealing if they had the logos on them or you know, something that you could look at on a store shelf and automatically go OMFG TF shoes!!!

These are the ugliest things I have ever seen. :SICK:

I cant believe some people would actually buy these things.

People are going to be dissapointed when they find out they dont transform. :P

Yeah, kinda not worth it now cause there aren't any faction symbols on them. W/o the symbols you'll have people looking at you like you have some fashion issue. Either thinking you're a hard core Prince fan or stuck in '89, just grab your Zubaz and you're good. I don't even want to know how much more they are going to ask for these as apposed to the normal ones because they are "special editions".
