Always looking for new and exciting ways to give you guys as much behind the scenes peaks as possible including our Instagram (@truffleshufflecom) piccys, we've decided to go a whole hop, skip and a jump further and start up a little series of blog posts that each month will focus on a different member of the TruffleShuffle team, letting you know what they do, what makes them tick and what they're loving right now!

Shooting it's way to you leaving flame trails as it goes, our latest designs are packed with retro technology and know how that will launch anyone into not just into the past or future, but movie t-shirt nirvana!

Inspired by the iconic 80s flick Back to the Future - possibly one of our all time favourite films everrrr - our latest designs feature the real hero of the film, the amazing Flux Capacitor created by Emmett Brown AKA The Doc who famously came up with the idea back in 1955 after slipping and bumping his head while standing on his toilet to hang a clock. We think the bang to the head explains a few more things too...

What is it? Well put simply by the man himself...."is what makes time travel possible."! While much to our younger selves heartache, the inner workings of this amazing masterpiece are not revealed, weird that one huh, all we know is that the iconic DeLorean car has to be traveling at exactly 88mph and also be producing 1.21 gigawatts for everything to it's thing. Not always as easy at it sounds!

Share you love for this 80s hero with our exclusive new range of Flux Capacitor T-Shirts and Vests from only £19.99....a damn sight cheaper than the real thing but equally as powerful! Take a peep...

Howdy TruffleShufflers! This week we found a cracking little Tumblr page from the very talented Darren Rawlins. He’s done a series of cartoons that takes the cars from some iconic retro shows and imagines what they’d look like as TRANSFORMERS!

Have a look at his work here.... darrenrawlings.tumblr.com whilst we run down our Top 5 Transformers from Retro Shows Inspired by Darren Rawlins!

.

1) First up, it’s a TruffleShuffle favourite, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Party Wagon! Built by Donatello, this awesome van came with all kinds of handy accessories, including missiles, breakaway doors, a radio broadcaster and parts of it could even be used as a ramp to get the Turtles out of trouble! We think the Transformer version would be pretty badass, especially if it had a few karate lessons from Splinter!

2) In a close second, we just had to pick the Batmobile. It’s been through dozens of crazy incarnations and hosted a vast array of mental weaponry but Darren has opted for the red-detailed one from the 60s TV show and Tim Burton’s sleek 1989 entry. Now, the TV show Batmobile displayed more gadgets than you can shake a batarang at in its 2 year run on our screens, but Burton’s incarnation famously included grappling hooks to scale walls, a bulletproof finish and one stonking great afterburner at the back. That makes for one pretty terrifying Transformer if you ask us, let’s hope he’s not a Decepticon...

As a massive Back to the Future fan sometimes owning all the Back to the Future T-Shirts you can get your hands on isn't enough. Only one thing would satistfy this apparel-fuelled craving.... Marty's Nike Air Mags from Back to the Future II!

Now, you may know that in 2011 Nike did actually release Nike Air Mag replicas, but were only a limited run of 1500 and didn’t feature the infamous power laces. In the Doc Brown featured TV advert Nike hinted at the power laces making an appearance in 2015....
