The Game Plan by Champs Sports Presents Nike Megatron Rises Collection

Megatron is the baddest villain on the block of cartoon history. It was a rule of thumb to buy Megatron, and then your favorite Autobot, when limited by Mom’s infamous “only-going-to-buy-two” stare. Even though you might have been rooting for Optimus Prime, somewhere deep down inside there was an undeniable excitement level as Megatron appeared on screen. If you’re not a Lions fan, the hidden rise in your heart rate is familiar as Calvin Johnson takes the field.

Seconds left in the fourth, Lions at the 40-yard line, high end-zone coverage—you know it’s only going to one person. As you peek through the hand covering your eyes and witness CJ extend over three defenders for the TD, your stomach sinks as it did when a Transformers episode left on a Decepticon win. Allowing you to re-live your wildest childhood fantasy, Nike has teamed up with Hasbro to introduce the Megatron Rises Collection, inspired by the baddest receiver in the game.

On Nov. 26, both trainers hit select Champs Sports stores, and the Megatron Rises Collection featuring all three shoes and action figure drops exclusively at the Nike Yardline in Cherry Hill, N.J. Champs Sports is giving away the limited edition action figure with purchase of the Nike CJ81 Trainer Max “Megatron” as well.

This Champs Sports exclusive pays homage to the undeniable greatness of Calvin “Megatron” Johnson. Given the nickname as a rookie, the six-year pro has caught fire. If you type Megatron into YouTube, don’t expect to find Transformers footage, expect to see the most ridiculous receptions in the NFL.

Trainers with a Decepticon logo on its heel. Nike pays homage to the days when you peeled the Decepticon logo off your Transformers lunchbox, and used them as the graphics to stunt on the playground.

Calvin Johnson Sunday specials include one-handed off-balance catches, extending over three Bengals for a TD. And to top if off, he often goes for a light field-goal slam dunk celebration. Oh, and that’s just the first drive!

Hands-down one of the most creative sneaker boxes Nike has ever produced. Inspired by the Transformers’ AllSpark, turning everything electronic or mechanical into a beast, this box promises to do the same with the sneaker heat inside of it. Holding all three Megatron-inspired sneakers, the box is repping team-Decepticon.

Hasbro is responsible for the most epic childhood action-figure battles. Megatron was secretly everyone’s favorite toy. With your right-hand grip, he dominated until you decided the “good guys” needed to win. The last two minutes were dedicated to all your dead good guys amazingly coming to life and defeating Megatron in one last epic attack. Nike team’s up with Hasbro to bring back the baddest action-figure ever to touch the sandbox.

Available in box or with purchase of CJ81 Trainer Max
