Never Underestimate the Power of Geeks With More Money Than Taste

Via Mental Floss, I learn that a movement is afoot (groan) to make Nike produce the shoes from Back to the Future, Part II. Kind of depressing that in a movie featuring flying cars, a flying skateboard, and presumably a lot more cool future stuff (OK, I've never seen either of the Back to the Future sequels), the most we can hope for is a pair of ugly, ultra high-top shoes that tie themselves.
