Last year, Neatorama teamed up with the Michael and Charles Maloof of The Official McFly 2015 Project to, um, … nudge Nike to make the sneakers worn by Michael J. Fox in the 1989 film Back to the Future.
It seemed that the grassroots campaign worked … maybe … Nike is not using the words "McFly" or "Back to the Future" for these shoes, but the similarities are uncanny:
Well, almost 20 years after the movie hit the screen, Nike will be releasing their new Hyperdunk in a teal version to make it look like the “Air McFlys.”
Purists, however, aren’t convinced:
… the guys that run the McFly 2015 Project, a grassroots movement that has been trying to drum up support for Nike to make this shoe aren’t satisfied.
“The Nike Hyperdunks might be inspired by the McFly 2015’s, but the Nike Hyperdunks are not the McFly 2015’s” said Michael Maloof, who with his […]

Betty Jenkins was once an adventurous young woman with a flat chest. Her mother gave her an inflatable bra to attract men. But what happens when you wear a partially-inflated bra in a plane flying over the Andes Mountains?

I’ve got some old, torn-up jeans that I don’t know what to do with (short of throwing them away), so it’s quite nice to find this post at Life Hackery of 25 ways to recycle your old denim jeans.
I like this one the most: 14. Make a unique denim bulletin board, though I doubt I’m crafty enough to make it!
Here’s the Link - see if you can add any more ideas to the pile - Thanks Kurt!
