    If I was gonna buy Transformery footwear, especially at the prices these things usually are, I'd want them to be proper TF footwear.

    Just don't turn up at a TF convention wearing them or Hasbro will cry 'Knock off!' until you're refused entry.

    I would love to get that hoodie. It's cool how Calvin's got his own 'logo' fashioned after the 'Con symbol.

    Unless Nike and Hasbro have an agreement........ That logo on the tongue of the Huaraches is pushing it, imo.

    I was thinking the same thing. Isn't this just Nike putting out "third-party" Transformers apparel? Where's the anti-third party crowd? Shouldn't they be here calling for Hasbro to sue Nike for stepping on their IP? That faction symbol is clearly derived from the TF brand, they're using the name Megatron, and they're fully acknowledging what they're doing. They even say they're mimicking the G1 packaging's grid design. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with this. Heck I would love to get one of those hoodies.

    Unless of course there is some deal between the two companies, but if that were the case I would think we would be seeing more Hasbro branding. Then again the official TF facebook page is sharing a link to the Nike press release.

    I imagine they've got some kind of agreement. This isn't the first nike/transformers crossover product, after all, though the last set was done through Takara.

    Is there a Optimus Prime version or sooner or later they will issue Optimus Prime?
