Folks have been emailing me for weeks about Adidas' new Star Wars-inspired shoes. Although the shoes are awesome -- they're nerdy enough for hardcore Star Wars fans, and yet still shockingly stylish that bullies might not beat you up and take your lunch money specifically over them -- I just haven't gotten around to it to posting about 'em. That is, until Adidas released a new commercial not only featuring shoes and a variety of Star Wars-isms, but Daft Punk looking ominous at the end. Frankly, I think Daft Punk is going to fight Darth Vader over some Adidas shoes, and I have a nerd boner at the very thought. If you want to see pics or get more info on the shoes themselves, I suggest you check out the coverage over at Toys R Evil.

And apparently Snoop Dogg will also be on hand for the throw down.
But, sign me up for a pair of Rebel Pilots. Love the color scheme they got going for that one. Although part of me wishes they had Lando Blue ones.

Hmmm, I really like this idea but I'm kind of disappointed in the fact that the coolest thing to come out of it, so far, isn't a shoe at all. It's, of course, the Darth Vader track jacket.

I am confused.
But am sure Daft Punk is going to put the fucking smack down on Vader.
Almighty Spock replied to Slust:
Agreed.

I seriously can't be the only one who thinks the starwars shoes (or Adidas shoes in general) are fugly as hell, could I?
Biff replied to Anonymous:
Nope, I totally agree. And can we lay off the Star Wars merch for, like a day? Stars Wars is becoming a western version of Hello Kitty.

Cool concept, though I agree some of the shoes are not to my taste. I'm actually more annoyed that this is adidas than anything else, because their shoes are too damn narrow for me, anyway.
The Leia shoe made me chuckle.

I love those Yoda Shoes! They are pretty sweet looking and they look comfy
I think this is a great campaign all around. Combining all of the sneaker nerds with the Star Wars geeks is a match made in heaven.
