Bryant Uses DeLorean to Sell Nike McFlys, Tries Going Back in Time to Save NBA Final

By Gizmodo US Edition on July 4, 2008 at 8:45 AM

As you already know, today was the launch of the limited-edition Marty McFly-inspired Nike Hyperdunk sneakers. 350 pairs were sold almost instantly (some are now for sale in eBay for as much as $2,000), a hundred of them at the UNDFTD shop in Santa Monica, where L.A. Lakers’ megastar Kobe Bryant arrived in a DeLorean time machine to be greeted by hundred of fans, some of them camping outside for more than 24 hours. Seriously, I’m a Back to the Future fan too, but what kind of obsessed fanboy can wait for more than 24 hours for a stupid piece of merchandise? Ah… hrmmm. OK, nevermind. [Hyperbeast]

    Hey there… that’s me driving Kobe in the time machine. I’m not even a basketball fan and he super cool. An absolute gentleman.

    Great event, great sneaker, great guy!

    I only wish they would’ve let the friggin buy a pair. They’re not kidding about “limited release!”
