Sneaker Geeks: 11 of the Best Movie Inspired Sneakers

#5 – Nike Air Trainer III “Transformers”

Sneaker Geek Part 2: Top 10 Movie-Inspired Sneakers

To say the least, these vivid Transformers-inspired sneakers “more than meet the eye.”  Nike selected probably the perfect shoe for the job with different pieces, panels, and materials to pull off a memorable pair of kicks.  The only shortcoming?  Not landing that licensing deal to put the Transformers logo on the tongue!

  • quay

    Hyperdunks should be like #10 or #9

  • g1phone

    space jams should be number 1 hands down

  • aaron agee

    i hate the hyper dunks… i dont know why so many people like them… their nowhere close to being as tight as the real marty mcflys… it seems as though some people are brain washed.

  • imrichboy

    what wrong with Jessica Alba in the pictures

  • trendsetta305

    MORK N MINDY NIKE DUNK SB????

  • soulie17

    marty mcfly’s, space jams, clear AF1′s (though overly faked) and DTRT Spikes were the best on the list (not necessarily in that order)

  • jimmysupahfly

    Mork and Mindy wouldn’t be up there cause Mork and Mindy was a T.V. show way back when… If it was a movie I bet it would be up there… They’re a great sneaker… I’m stuck trying to come up with other movie inspired kicks unless it’s an SB…

  • Dee

    those invisible forces started tha fake clear shoe craze..

  • yeroc

    space jam jordans all the way

  • Luis R.

    thrashins should be on the good list, not the bad

  • ENDs

    damn some nice kicks indeed, spacejams, do the right thing, marty mcfly’s, and freddy’s dunks, thats my top list imagine all those in my closet, hopefully one day

  • mhzigga

    thrashins werent THAT bad

  • http://sneakersandshoes.com PhilWil

    I think the McFly’s the best choice or movie inspired sneakers. I am not sure if the Space Jams were really based off the movie more than the movie was based off of them.

    By the way… Space Jam the greatest movie ever? lol

    AI heard those Space Jams are coming out next year. Internet rumor maybe? And what happened to the ‘no retros for a wile’ clause that team Jordan told us a few months ago?

  • grizz8884

    Gah, shame those Freds didn’t hit production.

  • rising_tied

    I woudla copped those Thrashin dunks, but the others on the reject list are NAAAASTY. I shoudla known the McFlys woulda been first I wasnt really feelin the AdidasxStar Wars or the Dawn Of The Deads at all though. Woulda rather had Thrashin than the Dawn of the Dead. and LMAO at the Goonies

  • alan lovedog

    calling space jam one of the best films ever is hilarious!
    it’s pure toilet.

  • majkel 523

    “Marty McFly” Daaaaaamn! :)

  • http://slabofsteak.wordpress.com airemax90

    “…whereas the Nike Air Max 90 mimicked the Torch to the T.”

    you mean the Nike Air Max 95, not 90 mimicked the Torch to the T.

    Completely agree although those 90s were fire as well…

  • Biggins

    Would have wanted those Nike Dunk Boba Fett’s in the list somewhere…nasty good looking.

  • gabrielo

    space jams were not inspired by a movie, he just wore them in the movie, they don’t belong on the list

  • opus138

    Space Jam is “one of the best movies ever”? Really?

    Stick with shoes — you know them best :)

  • Bugz

    GTFO Space Jams are the #1.

    Nice Kicks is trying to Rik roll people.lol

  • ACEBOOGIE314

    Ferris Buellers& Space Jams

  • JP

    why is nicekicks hating on the Thrashin dunks, they are pretty hot. And “Space Jam” #1 without a doubt.

  • Big D

    clearly we all know why Marty McFly’s come in first place. right? lol

  • http://andrewamcneill.wordpress.com aamcneill

    Gotta say that the Freddie Krugers were probably the most effective as far as design goes. Gotta love the Marty McFly’s and the Space Jam’s too, though.

  • WIZEGUY

    SPACE JAM? one of the best movies?? i beg to differ

  • Giby

    wait wait wait the DTRT III’s were way better looking
    even the choice of blue was more on point.
    the white makes the colorway ugly!

  • JordanHead2385

    Look man

    Space Jams are an Instant classic!
    If anything those are the best shoe indpired
    by a movie. The movie will forever live on
    Michael Jordans name in anythign will never
    die! Space Jams are number one most diffently.
    I do like the Hyperdunks I cant even front about them.
    But DTRT Spikes? They got to be number 3 they are not
    that low in the ranks, well there my opion anyone else?

  • Dixon Syder

    so much bias…I’m not gonna even acknowledge it but the Freddie Krugers were the best design for real! The Star Wars Vaders…were sick & actually should be a notch up because of the packaging! Since most of u weren’t even concieved until the Eightys u have no clue how the package is almost identicle to the original action figures…stupid! I actually agree with #45 the space jams were not inspired by a movie but the illest kick listed.
    Big Dix

  • SpaceJam Owner

    I can kinda see why the space jams were listed as “inspired” because they weren’t released the same year as the movie was to the public, and also there were a few differences between MJ’s and mine. 1st #45,and 2nd Purple jumpman. I wish that spacejams were number 1 too. The only reason I think hyperdunks got the top spot was because they were limited more than retro spacejams, kobe showed up in a back to the future delorian, and there is all this hype surronding hyperdunks.

  • j

    What about the dtrt 3′s, those are beutiful

  • aliskee

    what are you guys high?!

  • Jom

    I have a few problems with this list. First off the Thrashing dunks are tight even if they don’t go great with the theme. Second, the DTRT Jordan 3′s are way better than the spizikes, third, Space Jam should be #1, and fourth, ferris bueller dunks should be higher on the list. Otherwise solid list.

  • true

    the jordan 11′s were not inspired by the movie. they were actually inspired by some dress shoes Tinker Hatfield. LOL. they got it twisted. they shouldn’t even be on the list.

  • http://www.karmaloop.info Karmaloop Rep Code

  • jerseycitystandup

    why didn’t the dunk hi thrashin’s get on the list??? those are dope as hell and those hellboy forums were iight but that movie was kind of whack……and the black/white air jordan IX’s that the bully from “little rascals” was wearing should of been on there i watched that movie a few days ago and was drooling lol since i didn’t buy the 9/14 package
