Get ready for some nostalgia feedback with these Megatron Nike sneakers. After a successful launch of the Air Mag shoes inspired by Back to the Future Part II in 2011, Nike has once again turned to the 80s for inspiration, this time settling on the cartoon stalwart Transformers.
The Megatron design features the famous villain's iconic purple coloring and comes in three different types of show. The Trainer Max and Megatron Elite TD Cleat are reflective and almost metallic and robotic in appearance while the Air Nike Trainer has a circuit-inspired design.
All three pairs of Megatron Nike shoes come in an exclusive three pack, and are sure to delight athletes, geeks, geeky athletes and athletic geeks alike. So lace up your sneakers and let the power of the Decepticons fuel your run.
