DMC-12 x Nike 6.0 “DeLorean Dunk”

Inspiration: DeLorean DMC-12

The DeLorean from Back to the Future might be the fastest car to inspire a sneaker, as it was fast enough for time travel. Doc Brown’s automobile inspired a pair of Nike SB Dunk Lows that featured a metallic silver upper with the car’s DMC tag on the heels and its unique taillight design on the outsole. These made a Quickstrike release in 2010 as a prelude to the Nike Air Mag‘s first release the following year.
