Look it's a bird, a plane... Nay my friend tis a Transformer shoe. Well not exactly a "full sized" shoe, as the Transformer shoe has been scaled down to 1/2 size, so it won't make your mourning jogs any more exciting. But it will look pretty awesome in your toy collection for only $59. They are Nike shoes of course, which transform into Convoy and Megatron who evidently are also sportin a pair of Nike Free 7.0's, Go Figure... Action Figure that is!
