The Nike Air Mag shoes from Back To The Future 2 are on eBay, but not for us Brits. Instead, we've designed our own signature shoes based on our favourite technology giants from Apple to Android to Angry Birds.
We were inspired by designer Gerry Mckay, who decked out Adidas Superstar sneakers in the familiar blue and white of Facebook and the turquoise of Twitter.

Shoe-per
We created the personalised concept shoes using the custom tools offered by Adidas Originals, Nike and Zazzle. Each site offers you the chance to customise every aspect of different shoes before buying, even adding pictures and text to your shoes. You can select from a vast range of classic kicks, including Nike Air and Nike Dunk, and Adidas Stan Smith, Samba and Superstar.
Sadly, there were some ideas we had to leave on the drawing board. We designed a pair of WikiLeaks shoes, but they were full of holes. Our netbook-themed pumps weren't very comfortable -- they were just too small. And we had a go at a pair of running shoes for broadband providers, but they didn't work out either -- we put them on and just couldn't go as fast as we were supposed to.
It's a shoe-in
If Marty McFly's shoes are real, Puma can make a phone, your iPod can talk to your trainers and you can get slip-ons with hoovers in, then shoes are clearly the next big technology accessory. In fact, we hear Sony is working on a pair to demonstrate how excited it is about 3D televisions and movies. We hear the left shoe is red, the right one's green, they're too expensive and nobody wants them anyway.
Now you've walked a while in our shoes, let your fingers do the walking down to the comments to tell us which of our creations is your favourite and which are a load of cobblers -- and let us know which tech giants you'd like to wear on your feet.
