Would have been better to have the real Decepticon emblem on the shoe.

Come on, Nike, you're a billion dollar shoe company, you could have paid for the license.

Worst. Merch. Ever.

I actually like those. They look pretty slick and are a nice blend of G1/Transformer references and athletic shoe designs. I think I want these, I just hope they're not too limited.

Very Interesting to see the use of a football helmet facemask and visor into the design of the logo. Pretty well done if you ask me.

So does Hasbro not have a trademark on the "Megatron" name or something? It's not like he is, or has been, "Decepticon Megatron" on packaging. There HAS to be something preventing Nike from using that name on Merchandise. Perhaps the split words "Mega" and "Tron" imply two different words (Lawyer friendly) and thus create the illusion of one?

Disney would probably have an issue w/ Nike using "Tron".

Wait- they don't transform?! PASS!

It kicks the ass of Sports Label easily. You can wear these.

I'm guessing they're pushing the limits of what's acceptable before they need a license. I mean, it has the name Megatron (okay, its Mega Tron, sure), and a pseudo-faction logo on it!
