Original 1989 Back To The Future II Shoes are Crumbling and Being Sold On EBAY
Retro Crunch
The Original Back To The Future II Sneaker worn by Marty McFly AND used in the movie is up for sale, and you can bid for it right now on EBAY. The bad news.. Its only the left shoe, and its disintegrating.
This isn’t a knockoffs you can buy for a few hundred bucks, or a commercial remake, it’s actually one of the shoes made specifically for the movie.And the auction price on this sneaker is now over 80000 dollars with still 4 days to go on the auction!
But this pair for sale on EBAY is definitely the original, worn by Michael J Fox in the movie, and there were only a HANDFUL of them made in 89, so it is a HOLY GRAIL purchase for most sneaker lovers.
What’s just as interesting, though, is the condition this sneaker is in, even though its been kept in a glass display case all these years.
The fabric seems to be holding up OK, but the rubber and foam sections of the shoe are rotting away. And The back heelcup is so bad that it’s just crumb pieces now.
The shoes in such bad condition now, that it cant be handled without museum-level care, so your going to have to pick up the shoe in Portland if you’re the winning bidder.
ShoeZeum is the online name used by shoe collector Jordan Geller, who back in 2016 said he was going to sell off his huge stash of rare sneakers, and it looks like he’s following through.
The Air Mags have been re-released by Nike a few times since 1989, most recently complete with an automatic lacing system, and each time they’ve sold for thousands of dollars.
So, if you’re a bit too broke or squeemish to fork out 80k, you can find knock-offs on E-Bay for a few hundred bucks.
Ill post the link to the auction down below for you all. So, happy Hunting!
Alright my fellow Retroheads, Hope yall enjoyed this retro news update, and ill catch you on the flip side. And remember, if it aint retro, it aint worth watching!
