McFly Accessories

Now that Halloween is over, thought it would be fun to do a rundown of Marty McFly's outfit and gear in "Back to the Future." Of course, the infamous puffy vest, skinny jeans and denim jacket are well-known and will be the subject of another more-detailed post in the near future. For now, let's look at the rest.

Marty's shoes were Nike Bruins - white leather with a signature red swoosh. Alas, they are not available anymore and Nike ID won't offer to make them either. So, the closest option is the Nike Cortez 06, but it has a very different sole. Ah well, beggars can't be choosers.

Then there's the sunglasses, those mirrored aviators worn only briefly at the beginning of the film and in the teaser trailer. Marty's were frosted, but not completely C.H.I.P.s frosted or anything. His also had black frames. Look around and you should be able to find a reasonable match.

Marty's watch is the famous '80s staple, the Casio calculator watch - specifically the Casio CA-53W.

In the film Marty also sports a short sleeved button down shirt over a faded maroon undershirt. The outer shirt is white with a checkered black pattern and signature cuffed sleeves made by Shah Safari.

Over the shirt he wears "X" pattern black elastic suspenders with 3/4" width.

 

Then there's Marty's cassette player of choice, the Aiwa HS-PO2 MKII. These are hard to find, but for the less insane, you can always try and locate the equally rare Aiwa HS-PO7 in silver. These are the same players, the only difference being the tiny number on the face. Below is the latter version.

And finally, to make the whole thing complete, remember Marty's JVC GR-C1U camcorder (discussed in a previous post) and, of course, always have a little information about the future when you time travel...

A note from your girlfriend never hurts either...
