I might buy those, however shameful or hilarious they may be. | |
I don't like wearing white shoes, but other than the the Stormtrooper ones actually look kind of sharp. | |
How awsome is this? | |
I was thinking of gearing up with some Adidas stuff next week. Now i got a nice new thing on my shoplist for after Xmas! Ill show up with some pics too. . . .granted our stores get same of those puppies :D | |
Pure awesome. Even if I do not like to way white shoes, these are pure win | |
These look rather awesome. Do we know how much they are? | |
DO WANT. I wander how much they are... /where to buy them. EDIT: Oh, out in January...wank. | |
Gotta go with the skywalkers; the idea of having skywalker on your shoes which you'll use (you know) walking is pretty cool. | |
I would never, ever wear these. *dons ridiculous pimp hat with feather and cheetah-skin cape* | |
Awesome. I must have them. | |
Those actually look pretty good. I might actually buy a pair of those Stormtrooper trainers if they're available in the UK. They'll most likely add to my social nerd style that I've been rocking recently. | |
WOAH!!!!!! i would buy it when it comes out | |
Kinda cool. Though why they're releasing them now given its been near 15years since the trilogy re-release seems kinda random. | |
I wear black combat boots. But damn it, I so want the Skywalker flight suit pair. There's just enough Star Wars there, but not enough that a normal person would immediately get it. The shoes are themselves an in joke. Yes, this pleases me. | |
They look like those shoes little kids wear with the straps and flashing lights featuring Power Rangers or something, minus the straps and flashing lights. | |
Do they make your aim awful? | |
givf! those stormtrooper shoes look awesome! | |
I'd have to go with the Skywalker shoes. I don't have many outfits that would match them, but they look too sharp to pass up. | |
Any idea of the price of those badboys? | |
i would only wear the x wing ones | |
Scene kids and Star Wars nerds are touching themselves inappropriatly now. | |
I am one for black shoes but if I did wear white shoes these would be those shoes | |
What's with the shitty cropped photos? Why don't they just give us a picture of the whole damn shoe? | |
Haha, I read about this in the newspaper this morning. | |
:O I have to get the Skywalker Xwing suit pair... | |
looks sweet I want those shoes | |
I'm not such a big fan of Star Wars... but it's freaking AWESOME. | |
Bob is pleased with Stormie Shoes He wants a pair | |
Prices and Sizes would be nice... but very sweet | |
Stormtrooper face on the back of the shoe is cool, dont think I'd risk wearing them though. | |
Jar-Jar joke.. hm.. I like them, except the tongue looks a little too big to be comfortable. | |
They actually look pretty cool | |
That's just awesome! I want those X-Wing sneakers! | |
I wanna get that Dath Vader hoodie. <--Star Wars nerd. | |

Adidas Shows Off Stormtrooper Sneakers
What sneakers do the best dressed Storm Troopers prefer? Adidas, apparently.
Adidas has announced a new line of apparel based on the original Star Wars film released in 1977. The line is mostly sneakers, including shoes based on the Imperial Stormtrooper (pictured), Yoda and Luke Skywalker's X-wing suit, but there is also a Darth Vader hoodie in the mix. Star Wars shoes are nothing new but this marks the first time that sneakers were created showcasing specific characters and scenes from the movie. According to multiple sources, the shoes will be available in select stores in January 2010.
I have to say that, at first, I thought these shoes were ridiculous, but they are starting to grow on me. The old-school feel of the classic Adidas design matches up well with the nostalgia often associated with Star Wars. My predilection for black shoes might even put the Vader shoes on my list.
Thankfully, there is no trace of content from the prequels. You may insert the Jar-Jar joke of your choice here.
