While it may be a few decades late, Star Wars has now become a fashion statement of sorts, with Adidas branding the film series for a line of shoes. As much as we’d love for these to make it onto our Holiday Gift Idea list, they won’t be hitting the retail shelves until January 2010.
With the new line, you can show off your support of the Empire or the Rebellion in style. From what we’ve seen in the preview of next year’s line, the following shoes will be split into three packs – Characters, Vehicles, and the Direct Pack.
Characters Pack
This pack takes the most iconic moments and characters from the Star Wars saga and brings them to life across five sneakers, two short sleeve T-shirts and the Superstar Track Top.
Vehicles Pack
For this pack, we have taken inspiration from the well known vehicles and crafts from the Star Wars saga and translated them to our five most iconic adidas Originals sneakers and two key adidas Originals apparel models. Across these models we have paid homage to the distinguished features of airborne crafts and land based vehicles from both sides of the Force and executed them to appeal to both adidas and Star Wars fans alike.
Direct Pack
Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers appear in this pack as well as in the Characters pack. Also, the Women’s Game Mid silhouette that appears here is inspired by Princess Leia, featuring gold detailing paired with a modern high-top silhouette with matching apparel.
Along with the shoe line come a few different pieces of apparel, such as a Darth Vader chest plate t-shirt, as well as a few design hoodies. The line is expected to be in stores next month, with a special web application announcing the Adidas and Star Wars collaboration in the coming weeks. Until then, check out these images of a few of our favorite products below.
