    As with all G.I. Joe toys, the only proper way to use these shoes is to keep them in their original packaging and threaten bodily harm to anyone who tries to wear them.

    Would it kill them to release Back to the Future II-style shoes? I mean, how many GI Joe shoes to they expect to sell, and compare that to all the people who would gladly fork over a hundred dollars to look like Marty McFly. Bah.

    @ThisDudeRufus: Nike did release shoes "inspired by" the shoes Marty wore in 2015 last year.

    Oohh, I like how all the six eyelets the shoelaces run trough are different shapes: triangular, hexagonal, stars, regular round, etc.

    It really adds some character to the shoes imho.

    @92BuickLeSabre: I didn't know there was actually such a list, but if Meredith would be so kind as to put together one post with the entirety of the list, I can personally pledge to buy 1/4th of whatever is on that list.

    @zenpoet: So far, I've got:

    1) Coraline Kicks
    2) 2015 Trainers
    3) Karen Gillan's outfit from the Doctor Who stills.

    But I feel certain that my mental extrapolations from this list are both accurate and justified.

    A few weeks ago on SNL when Seth Rogan was hosting they did a pretty funny skit called 'Girlfriend Voice' where three guys in a bar use different voices depending on who they were talking to on the phone. Bill Hader did a hilarious imitation of Gizmo the Gremlin singing that practically had me in tears.

    @cadrina: Yeah I was down with it until it looked like they had to skin several Mogwais (Mogwae?) to make one shoe. Poor bastards. Last thing I need is PETA pouring fake blood on my shoes. Wait, actually... that would get them wet and then I'd have more shoes!!! Hrmmm interesting.

    Aww, too bad you have to buy both pairs to get the full effect. Now, if only you could rub neat't foot oil on the Mogwai shoe and watch it pop out a bunch of green gremlin shoes. Actually, never mind. Ew.
