Childhood memories were ruined today by McDonald's Hamburglar rebranding, which has the patty-thieving character looking incredibly creepy in his new human form.

In the fast food giant's efforts to make the Hamburglar look more modern, it gave him some new footwear: the Nike Flystepper 2K3. Making the choice even more egregious is that he's got the "Red October" colorway that's been popping up on way too many Nike Sportswear shoes as of late.

McDonalds will bring the Hamburglar back to TV spots for the first time since 2002 soon. Here's to hoping he gets some new footwear by then.
