First Look at Nike Generation 1 Inspired Shoes!

Size 12 Soundwave's = Mine.

My feet will be looking

Man I want some size 11 Bumblebees on my feet RIGHT NOW!

"More than meets the feet" would be a better line this time... I want a Grimlock version of these.

do they have size 13 Runamucks?

Those Soundwave ones are awesome. I like how they made the boxes look like the old school toy packaging. If i were a sneaker person id so hunt these down. Since i only wear boots i cant justify buying a pair. Surprised theres not Prime and Megatron versions.

soundwave will soon crush autobots with his heel

Amazing. Must get a pair of Soundwave shoes.

I'm a lot like you in the respect that I usually stick with boots. It's a 75/25 split with me. If we badger Brahma or Carhart hard enough maybe we can get a Dinobot line in dark grey.

Until such time, set aside a pair of 10 1/2 Soundwaves for me folks.

Soundwave Shoeperior.

I LoL'D....



Size 14 Megatron please...Oh and even G.I Joes ones as well? Interesting..

Haha these are really ugly. Almost as ugly as Iron Maiden Vans.

I'll be next in line. I like both, but really diggin the SW sneaks.

hope they have a size 16! doubtful though.

need to get some soundwaves

A few questions,

1) Are these going to be available in the US and in brick and mortar stores?

2) Will these be in adult sizes?

To answer your second question first, yes, it looks that way.

As for your first question, I don't know but I sure hope so. I must have some size 9 1/2 Soundwaves!
(yeah, i've got small feet, but you know what? they won't sell out of 9 1/2s!)

woah! soundwaves are must have... if I would have any money:P
Don't think tho that they make so many sizes of these... and in worst case they make only "child sizes."

Now we have Megatron version

sneakernews.com says these 3 nike transformer sneakers are exclusive to footlocker house of hoops and select nike basketball accounts worldwide. and they should be released within a few weeks!

Sick. Megs' shoe looks just about as good as SW's. I may pass though, b/c I already have a reissue of the Jordan XIs in gray.
Any idea on price?? These are the sickest shoes ever.....

Haha. Thanks. I guess this could ultimately pave the way for a whole shoe themed franchise of Transformers.

Shoeperion
Omega Shoepreme

And a less popular Sandalstorm.

Much as I enjoyed the "Soundwave Shoeperior" and the follow-up quip "Omega Shoepreme", I'm going to have to cancel my Soundwave order and go with the set of Megatron...for now. If Megatron is out then you know that Prime can't be far behind. The red, blue and grey will be showing up any time now.
Does anyone else think that the black/grey balance on the Megatron shoe is a little out of whack compared to the picture on the box. I think it's actually better that way but then I'm partial to black anyway.

These are really cool I’d love a pair of Soundwaves, but of course they don’t come in women's sizes and if they did I'm sure all we'd get are some pink and white Arcee versions. Why is transformers apparel always so one sided?

So cheat. Go to the mens shoe dept. and wait until nobody is looking and quickly slip a foot into something that looks close to your size and adjust up or down from there. Then jot down the number for that shoe. That's how my ex-wife found out she can wear a size 8 1/2 - 9 mens hiking boot. They've held up better for her than what the womens hiking boots have. If you want Soundwave, I say go for it.

Does anyone know prices and if they've been seen in store?

Cog jammit, I'm gonna need more shelves :\

so they're makin a Prime set eh? Has it been confirmed? Time to make a run to Niketown!!

me want megs! i want them alll!

Hadn't heard anything about them making a Prime set. I was just giving in to wishful thinking and figuring that it would be a logical conclusion what with the Meagtron set being released. You rarely see one without the other. I'm just being hopeful.

I am also more of a boot person. I would love to see Brahma make some dark gray Grimlocks. Size 11 plz.

Nice, I like them!

I may try and buy a pair for my nephews or even for future investment purposes.

So...are there for sale anywhere...?

Does this mean I can look forward to a Michael Johnson version of the Bumblebee shoe (the yellow portion gold chromed, the soles more of a bluish gray) called the Goldbug?
If so, hook me up with size 11.5 US, s'il vous plait.
(Pretty s'il vous plait, with cerises on top?)

I'm also digging the Soundwave.
I'd really tear up a dance floor if someone made a Fortress Maximus shoe (no, really. "Size 90", according to Spike), or made Heelys based on the Throttlebots and Battlechargers.

haha. Michael Johnson goldbug shoe. Lol. I'm not clever enough to think of a Usain Bolt joke. Isn't there a bot named Volt? can't rem.

The shoes are available in Hong Kong, china, taiwan, philipines, US. Price from USD$100-$120. See link:

http://www.kixandthecity.com/2009/07/05 ... -and-pics/

I don't care how cool a pair of shoes looks, for $120.00 they better walk my ass to wherever I'm going all by themselves.
So much for MY Soundwave order!

Damn I wanted a pair of Megatrons so bad. Those look neat. But $120? Whoooo-eee!

Still, a little less than the cost of Jordans.

Thanks for the link RD. Good pix. I really want a pair of SWs, but Comic-con is fast approaching & i need to save. Might buy the Shout factory Matrix set dvd & other stuff. Couple more movies i wanna see this summer too.

Cheaper than what I usually pay for new balances. Isn't this the going price for sneakers any way? I hope they come in widths.

These shoes release on July 10th.

Unfortunately, there are already mass lines at the three U.S. locations these are releasing (Footlocker "House of Hoops" in NYC, LA, and CHI).

Prices on eBay are varying from $250 (Bumblebee and Soundwave) to $300 (Megatron)

Hopefully prices go down to around $180-220 once the initial release is over.

glad i read this, i was about to check the nike town nearest me. Thanx lovethaxi.

& chuckdawg - i hear on the NB, that's what i usually buy.

so tempted to get the SWs today. But I'm broke. Must......fight.........the..urge............

I can't wait to see someone in the NBA wearing these next season. You just got dunked on by Megatron fool!!

And sign me up once the hype dies down a little along with the price gouging on ebay. Cheapest for the Megs or the Soundwaves I can find is $229 in a size 10.5

Do they have Megatron's in 8 1/2 Wide?

So i went to the House of Hoops nearest me at about noon on that Fri. Absolutely all gone - sold out in a hour or 2 when i asked. Crestfallen..........
