adidas Originals x Star Wars - Spring/Summer 2010 Collection Preview
After bringing all the Princess Leia sneaker preview from adidas Original’s collaboration with Star Wars in their upcoming Spring/Summer 2010 Collection, now we are throwing two other characters from the cult science fiction film into the mix. Also transformed into sneakers are master Yoda and Luke Skywalker.
For Yoda, the canvas chosen for this collaboration is the ZX700. The boat-shoe inspired sneaker is worked to resemble the Jedi master in both colorway (brown and green) and material (leather and wheat-colored canvas). Meanwhile, the tongue is embellished with a special embroidered tongue tag which features “Yoda” and a black and white rendition of the master’s portrait.
Now onto the youngling, Luke Skywalker. Just like Master Yoda, the sneaker is inspired by the character’s styling. In this case, Skywalker’s uniform from his triumphant moments in the last few scenes on film, so think, orange and white with some other accents thrown in.
Aside from sneakers, the collection also boasts some apparel and so far the preview reveals a graphic tee featuring Star Wars graphic with Darth Vader, and a zip-up hoodie lined with Stormtrooper graphics. Check out the pictures and we are already anticipating fanboys to dress up in character to get their collab gear when the collection is released in January.
Challenger x Neighborhood - Mesh Cap
Challenger is a new Japanese brand which takes influences from the American motor, work and military cultures. They have recently collaborated with Neighborhood who is a more established brand in the same culture. Mesh caps or trucker caps are common place on the heads of workers and motor enthusiasts but this certain take on the mesh cap is definitely refreshing. The black visor is cut short similar to now popular cycling caps or umpire caps and the visor is left as is creating a rough or DIY aesthetic. Rest of the cap is kep fairly simple with white mesh and matching plastic adjusters on the back. Front panel is decorated with a special embroidery design featuring logos of Challenger and Neighborhood’s skull bunny. Skull bunny is also embroidered on the left side of the cap in black contrasting off the white mesh.
