5 Days Till Geekmas Epic Gift Ideas



The malls are packed. Road rage and blood is spilling onto the streets. Kids are poking a minimum wage Santa who just finished cleaning the puke out of his beard in the eye screaming for a Zhu Zhu Pet. That can mean only one thing; It's the final week till Christmas!

Yesterday I showed off the extremely hard to find Limited Edition Star Wars Varsity Jacket by Adidas. So it only seems proper to give the competition a fair shake while at the same time showing off another geektastic upgrade to your wardrobe. The sneakers.

Nothing is better then a nice pair of kicks. Unless you can get a nice pair of kicks inspired by the Delorean. Already there are people calling these Nike designed and manufactured sneakers the Back to the Future Nike Sneakers. Well first off, Marty McFly's sneakers were Nike sneakers. Secondly, do you see self lacing and a glowing logo anywhere? Didn't think so. No, these are not the Back to the Future kicks which we have all been longing for since the 80's. These are the DMC Delorean Dunk's. So yes, these aren't the shoes inspired by Back to the Future but they are the shoes which are a tribute to the most important element of Back to the Future. That element, of coarse being the Delorean.

These kicks come with multi-colored soles, matted silver outer covering to emulate the Delorean's brushed stainless steel body, and the DMC logo keeping the Swoosh company on the tongue. Now let's be honest with ourselves; not too many people can pull these shoes off. However, if you are an avid sneakerhead this is definitely a piece you should add to your collection.

Fun fact: The future in which Marty traveled to took place in the year 2015. That is only 5 years away. Yet my busted ass neon seems to only leave the ground when it gets jacked up for an oil change.
