2010 DeLorean Nike Dunk 6.0: First Sprint
2010 DeLorean Nike Dunk 6.0: First Sprint-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:15

Judging by the emails from people dying to know where to buy them, the shoes are this season's hot car-inspired fashion accessory. They go on sale this Friday, but I'm wearing a pair right now, suckas.

As part of the Nike 6.0 Dunk series, the company teamed up with the DeLorean Motor Company to create a stylish shoe inspired by the retro-cocaine-era-cool car. But, just because they've got the DMC label doesn't mean they're magic. Let's get a few misconceptions out of the way:

1. They are dunks, but they will not help you dunk.

2. They say Belfast on them, but they were not made in Belfast.

3. If you can run 88 mph you will not go back in time, but you'll still be running 88 mph. Which is pretty cool.

4. There's no secret pocket for transporting cocaine.

5. They don't auto-lace or auto-dry

Clearly, the shoes are meant as nostalgia for the car itself and not the Back To The Future films (those shoes ), which suits me just fine.

People have been clamoring for Marty McFly's future Nike's from Back to the Future Part II for…

Nike Dunk DeLorean 6.0

Mars Blackmon explains why I can't dunk.

Despite not letting you travel through time or dunk like Russell Westbrook, the shoes are wonderful. Designed to mimic the stainless steel finish of a DMC-12, the "no-sew" material offers a matte finish unlike anything I've seen on a shoe before. It's understated but fantastic.

Out back, the embossed DMC stamp sits above a louvered pattern also inspired by the car cars rear windows. The bottom of the shoe is pure fantasy, with the red-white-and-yellow taillight pattern preserved on the outer sole. Not sure why they didn't grid it off, but it's another example of giving a shout out to the car while still retaining its own unique identity as footwear.

Like the even more limited-edition press box itself, the eyestay's are another slight nod to the DMC-12's iconic gullwing doors. My favorite part is the Belfast stamp on the tongue, a sly reference to the car's being constructed in Ireland and perhaps the only shoe in a long line of shoes named after geographic locations (Mexico 66's, for example) to be named for the Irish town.

It's almost a shame to wear them as the material slightly deforms when you do — the only drawback to the look. Also, if I hadn't unboxed them I could be selling my review pair on eBay right now like , but my integrity is worth slightly more than $349.99.

For just $90, the shoes are cheap, which will make tracking down a pair of the limited edition, 1,000-copy shoes is the real challenge. They're only going to a few select outlets, but because we love you, here's the list:

Also, you can find them at the following Pacsun stores:

Town Center at Easton, Ohio

Lakeside Shopping Center, Louisiana

Menlo Park, New Jersey

Woodfield, Illinois

Grove at the Farmers Market, California

Brea Mall, California

Boca Raton, Florida

Jacksonville Mall, North Carolina

Mall of Georgia, Georgia

Queens Center, New York

You're welcome.

Full Disclosure: Nike/DMC did send me a copy, but I'm not going to sell them as that would be unethical. And keeping them locked up will only make me want to sell them in the future. So I'm going to wear them. Suckas.

For $6,000, Could This 1974 Porsche 914 Have You Going Hmmmmmm?
The seller of today’s 914 says it was his first Porsche, and that it could be yours too. Let’s see if its Wankel engine and overall condition will make its price the first order of business. What do you think is a more powerful emotion, love or hate? The seller...

The Ford Focus RS Is The Cheapest M Car You Can Buy New
I don’t think any car in 2016—as in, a car that you can actually buy, unlike certain others —debuted with as much hype as the new . It’s not every day America gets the kind of forbidden turbocharged Euro-hatch hotness that would have been unthinkable just a couple years ago....

The 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R is Our Weapon Against Crossover Domination
The 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R you see here was shot in early December in Montreal. Notice anything wrong with that picture? Yellow hay. What the hell, right? To put things into perspective for my southern friends, when I was growing up here in Québec 20 years ago, at this time...

For $7,500, Is This "1963" Citroën 2CV Worth A Deux-Over?
In contrast to some actresses who strive to pass as younger, today’s 2CV is a more recent model trying to pass as older to get by certain regulations. Let’s see if its price tag gets a pass too. By the narrowest of margins yesterday’s warmed our hearts but hummed its...

Today’s Jetta is offered reluctantly by its present owner in support of his wife who has some health issues. It looks to be a great car and an even greater cause, but let’s see if its price is cause for alarm. A great debate was had yesterday over the value...
