Adidas Launches ‘Star Wars’ Inspired Sneakers

Adidas and Star Wars have joined forces to create another one-of-a-kind collectible shoe. This comes barely a week after they debuted their Toy Story collection.

Celebrating 40 years since the legendary Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back debuted, the new Adidas Originals collection pays homage to the film with four pairs of sneakers that are inspired by fan-favourite characters Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett, Han Solo and Chewbacca.

Since launching on September 18, some styles have already begun to sell out, but many fans are anticipating the release of the Rivalry Hi Star Wars Shoes that are a direct ode to Chewbacca’s classic character on October 22.

Much like the Wookiee warrior’s character, the sneaker features furry-like light brown hair strands on the upper sole and tongue of the shoe. The tongue of the silhouette also includes a trinket; which is much like the belt Chewbacca wore during Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

The Rivalry Hi Star Wars Shoes will retail for £119.95 which is approximately $155.

Another standout sneaker from the collection is the Boba Fett-inspired Top Ten Hi Star Wars Shoes which feature a bounty hunter look and feel.

The pair has rich tones of olive green, red, and light blue; like Fett’s body armour as well as a utility pocket near the ankle area of the shoe. Another unique detail is the Fett’s famous quote from the film; “He’s no good to me dead” that is inside the flap of the extra utility pocket.

 The infamous bounty hunter, Boba Fett, gets his own custom make-up of the Top Ten silhouette. Inspired by the colours of his body armour, and with a quote hidden within the shoe’s extra pocket, this release celebrates an iconic character in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
