Back To The Footwear..... Great Scott, They're Coming!!!!
As a massive Back to the Future fan sometimes owning all the Back to the Future T-Shirts you can get your hands on isn't enough. Only one thing would satistfy this apparel-fuelled craving.... Marty's Nike Air Mags from Back to the Future II!
Now, you may know that in 2011 Nike did actually release Nike Air Mag replicas, but were only a limited run of 1500 and didnât feature the infamous power laces. In the Doc Brown featured TV advert Nike hinted at the power laces making an appearance in 2015....

Guest Post: 80s Movies Filming Locations in L.A.
You could say I'm a bit of an eighties nerd. I run the world's largest retro websites doyouremember.co.uk, I've written a book all about the 80s and I spend way too much time listening to 80s music and watching 80s movies. So you can probably imagine my excitement when I got the opportunity to jet off to L.A. on a mission to track down the filming locations of some of the very best movies of the eighties.
A business meeting in California gave me the opportunity to stay with some friends in San Diego for the weekend and these good and very patient friends of mine kindly agreed to spend a long day driving me hundreds of miles around L.A. hunting down cool photo opportunities.
When the good people at retro t-shirt store TruffleShuffle.co.uk heard about my forthcoming mission, they kindly agreed to give me the matching movie t-shirts to wear in each location. They have the coolest t-shirts in the world - seriously!
So at the weekend, after all the business meetings were concluded, I threw on my first 80s t-shirt and headed off in search of the first stop on our circular tour - Doc Emmet Brown's house from Back to the Future.
Next up was Elliott's house from E.T. (the Extra-Terrestrial)
Brand New Junk Food. Now that's food for thought....
Few things make the TruffleShuffle office as happy as a piping hot portion of Junk Food Clothing. As we've come to expect from the L.A based brand, this collection takes a pinch of vintage style mixes it with a spoonful of fashion and seasons it with a healthy dose of quality to create some amazing new Superhero, Music & Movie T-Shirts for him & her.
Here's a couple of my faves....
You Know You Grew Up In The 80s If...
As specialists in the finest 80s clothing on the web (yes I'm biased!) it's actually part of our job description to spend a good hour or two daydreaming of the greatest era ever every day. Growing up in the Eighties was a real treat and installed in us the knowledge to make some of the greatest retro tees just for you lucky guys! So take a couple of minutes out from your busy day to reminisce with me, You know you grew up in the 80s if...
...Saturday mornings were spent watching Going Live, wishing you had your own Gordon the Gopher.
...Your ideal classmate would have been Tucker Jenkins from Grange Hill.
...You had a hairstyle inspired by King of Mullets Pat Sharp.
