Perfect for those rhythmic ceremonial rituals. Mickey Maloof informed me today that his
McFly 2015 Project, where he is trying to get
Nike to produce the shoes that
Michael J. Fox wore in
Back to the Future Part II, has gained more headway:
Kanye West is in on the act as his new album cover for
Graduation displays the shoes. ‘Japanese artist
Takashi Murakami designed the album
packaging (he's best known for his work with Louis Vuitton),’ he wrote. Good on Mickey for influencing
Murakami’s decision—which I am sure he did.
Earlier this month, Mickey informed me that Nike had indeed taken out a patent on the Marty McFly shoes:
