adidas introduces a new Stan Smith sneaker model that is inspired by Sci-Fi character Boba Fett. The shoes are designed in an entirely tonal look of blue throughout the silhouette. The tennis-inspired shoes have been such a staple since the 60s. The new range celebrates the L-slot rocker firing action figure, which was sold last year.
This is not the first time that the brand has launched shoes inspired by the character. This time around, however, the brand gives the shoe a more minimal design language. It's made with the brand's sustainability-angled Primegreen material. It also sits on top of a tonal clear midsole foundation to continue with the unpainted figurine theme - the entire colorway is done in Gray Ash.
