Welcome to the dark side Adidas... and the side of the force as well. Adidas is coming out with multiple pairs of shoes and apparel depicting many characters from the beloved Star Wars films, like Luke Skywalker and Stormtrooper Orginals as well as vehicles like the Millenium Falcon Rod Lavers and the AT-AT Orginal Forums. The Vader ZX Runners are alright, and some of the shoes are downright disgusting (Sorry Yoda). Although there has been thousands of collabo's between Star Wars and various apparel companies, this one has the best commercial by far. A B-Boying break dance fight, Zoolander style, featuring Mr. Darth Vader??? The baddest mofo in the galaxy??? To a Hip Hop version of the Imperial March??? This is a dream come true for sneaker head/sci-fi freaks like me. There is also a short little cameo by Snoop Dogg getting his groove on. Check the clip out on YouTube & may the force be with you.
I'm pretty excited about these! Hook me up with a pair of the Luke Rebel Flight high tops, kiiid!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to pass on this. In my opinion this is a major fail on Adidas' part. Then again, I could be wrong. You wont catch me in em thats for sure.
ReplyDeleteI've been forced to acknowledge lately that George Lucas' absolutely unrestrained marketing of Star Wars has KILLED it for me. Done. Dead. That joke in Spaceballs isn't a joke anymore. I was a life-long Star Wars geek, but I realized a few months ago that I've officially tapped out. I can't even decide if the kicks look hot or not, because I don't care. Enough already.
ReplyDeleteI agree, not a huge fan of the kicks... but the commercial was dope, no??? Thats what really got me... but I feel ya claude. Joe, who u kidding, you will never turn your back on that galaxy that is far, far away... lol
