adidas x Star Wars Sneakers

Here is the complete (I think) line of adidas x Star Wars sneakers. I am posting them somewhat out of obligation since I have been covering them since they were announced some months back. I say this because for the most part I'm underwhelmed. I mean, I'm underwhelmed by alot these days, but I had high hopes for this offering--especially after the sweet Marc Ecko Boba Fett and Stormtrooper hoodies from last year.

The sad truth is, these are predictably nerdy, but they don't pop. There is nothing about any one of these that is truly mind-blowing. I'm not saying I wouldn't wear some of them (the Skywalker and Falcon in particular), but while some are tragically nerd, others are no more Star Wars than a regular pair of Stan Smiths. An unfortunate offspring of these two powerhouse brands.
