Footwear brand Native Shoes and Star Wars have collaborated on a new sci-fi sneaker collection. The collection celebrates the latest season of the popular Star Wars series, The Mandalorian. The collection offers designs from the franchise, spotlighting the themes of the light and dark sides of the force. The collection consists of six adult styles and nine kid styles.
Each style is available in the Native Shoes' Jefferson model sneaker. The model is made with Sugarlite, a mixture of traditional EVA and sugarcane-derived resin. Particularly, this material gives the sneaker a rubber-like texture for comfort and flexibility. Additionally, the collection has several printed designs, including an R2D2-inspired sneaker and a Darth Vader-inspired style. A standout item in the collection is the Return of the Jedi-themed print sneaker, as this year marks the 40th anniversary of the film's premiere date. The collection is available for purchase at different price ranges.
