Lakers' megastar Kobe Bryant arrived in a DeLorean time machine to be greeted by hundred of fans, some of them camping outside for more than 24 hours. Seriously, I'm a Back to the Future fan too, but what kind of obsessed fanboy can wait for more than 24 hours for a stupid piece of merchandise? Ah... hrmmm. OK, never mind. [Hypebeast]

<![CDATA[Back to the Future McFly Sneakers Unboxed, Going for $2,000]]> The limited edition Back to the Future Nike basketball sneakers are available now. You can get yours on eBay, where prices are going from $600 to $2,000. That is serious dollar gigawattage for a pair of sneakers, even if they look great out of the box, as you can see in the mega-gallery.

Only 350 pairs of these Nike Hyperdunks have been produced, with the color of the Nike shoes that Marty McFly wears in Back to the Future II, with a glow in the dark soles. Apparently people were camping out for 24 hours to get these in Santa Mónica, so you can be sure that they will be big collector items. At least until Nike realizes there's a whole market segment full of dumb people wanting to buy these. You know, the kind of fried-brain guys who have watched the movie a hundred times and still walk through the streets thinking "if I only had one of those floating skateboards now" at age 35.

Yeah. That would be me. [eBay]
