Jul 10 2008Limited Edition Star Wars Adidas Shoes
This is the first I'd heard about the limited edition Star Wars x Adidas Super Stars sneakers (do people still say sneakers? I do) but apparently they came out a couple months ago and were limited to 800 pairs per side of the force (that's 800 dark side, 800 light side). So they're probably already snatched up. I looked on eBay and nada. So, yeah, I guess I'm gonna have to write a couple threatening letters to Adidas to send me a pair.
Great attention to detail was taken by Adidas for these sneakers. The "Yoda" Super Stars feature a hemp upper much like something the Jedi Master wore on his home planet of Dagobah. In addition to the good choice of colors and materials, Adidas also covered the lace tips in the neon green color of Yoda's lightsaber. The "Darth Vader" Super Stars takes inspiration from the characters mask. The parallel lines on the side are like that covering Vader's mouth and the black patent leather to represent the glossy finish. Again Adidas finished off the kicks with red lace tips to match Vader's lightsaber.
Okay, so I just found a place that had been selling them (sold out now) for $275. Which, around here, is the same price as 11 mediocre lap dances (22 on buy one get one free night). And, honestly, which would feel better on your weary soles(!)? The prosecution rests.
Hit the jump for a ton more pictures of both the Vader and Yoda models.

Damn I like the light ones and I'm noeven that into Star Wars despite the husband once making me watch the original movies all in one weekend when he found out I'd never seen them. But damn the light shoes are cute, I'm a sucker for shell toes.

way better than the Keds I decoupaged with Star Wars pictures in third grade (okay, last year).

Nothing about these shoes makes me think of starwars.
If they didn't have the starwars-style writing on them, it would be difficult to convince me they even had anything to do with starwars.
But I shouldn't expect too much from them, as they're only shoes.

they look good, but nothing about them particularly screams star wars, and the fact that the aglet is green "just like Yoda's lightsaber!" is just bullshit, really.
