Posts with tag optimus prime

Every now and again I'm forced to reveal that I'm a complete and total geek. This is one of those times.

I am incredibly pumped about the new Transformers movie. That cartoon was a Saturday-morning staple throughout my childhood, and trucks that can turn into giant, evil-fighting robots are undeniably cool.

I'm so excited, in fact, that I'm starting to think the new(ish) Nike Air Trainer "Transformers" -- inspired by the Autobots' fearless leader, "Optimus Prime" are stylish.

Sure, Nikes aren't exactly high fashion, the bold red, yellow and blue color combination makes them look more like a children's toy than anything intended for adults (not to mention that pointless plastic strap just below the laces), and placing the Transformer logo on the tongue of the shoe was certainly an uninspired choice.

But, all that aside, these are shoes inspired by the coolest cartoon show in the history of television (except for Thundercats and Heman), and that's gotta count for something.
