As soon as we posted the Tennis Ball Hypermaxs many of your started asking about if the “McFly” Nike Hypermax would make its way to the US as well.  We regret to inform you that we have recevied word from a few credible sources that the “McFly” Nike Hypermax has been cancelled and will not release to the US.

While no official word has been released by either Nike or Universal Studios, what we have heard is that the movie studio was not fond of the shoes likeness to their character’s sneakers worn in Back to the Future II.  Some may recall that the “McFly” Nike Hyperdunk was an official collaboration between Universal and Nike, but apparently the Hypermax and Hyperdunk low were unofficial inspirations.

One can only hope that this rumored dispute does not get in the way of the Marty McFly’s releasing in their true form.  2015 is only a few years away!

UPDATE: There are a few sizes left of the McFly Hypermax on eBay.

It’s no secret that the Hypermax in the Tennis Ball makeups and the McFly colorway are on everyone’s radar right now. These No Flywire (NFW) versions have been floating around the web for a bit, all the while creating quite the buzz. The Nike Hypermax McFly is possibly an instant classic, as the colorway alone has a cult following. One thing that we haven’t seen good photos of is the glow in the dark features. The Swoosh, and portions of the outsole are treated with the popular makeup. We’ll have info on availability soon. Click here to let us know what you think of these kicks.
