INTERGALACTIC STAR WARS SNEAKERS

Via Wired.com:

REMEMBER WHEN THE first Star Wars movies came out and you could buy Luke lunchboxes and Chewie underwear and Obi-Wan sweatshirts and Vader backpacks? And then everywhere you went, you knew you were the coolest because you had pictures of your favorite characters all over you? No? OK, maybe I’m older than you. But trust me, it was amazing. Now that two or three decades have passed and we’re all grown-ass men and women, it’s harder to wear Star Wars and be taken seriously.

But you can take these things seriously: classic Adidas casual sneakers, all done up in Star Wars livery. Every mi star wars shoe is customizable—you start with a base-model Adidas casual sneaker, then pick the bunting you want using Adidas’s customizer web-app. Choose from different colors, lace charms, Star Wars fabric graphics, and metallic treatments to the toe shell and the leather stripes. I hereby challenge you to come up with something more downright awesome than my camo Stormtrooper Superstar 80s seen above.

The German athletic brand has a history of making shoes and clothing with Star Wars characters on them (check out this Stormtrooper sweatshirt), but with the holiday arrival of the Star Wars film reboot, this 2015 gear line carries more weigh.
