Athletic-wear company adidas created a new line of Star Wars clothing for kids, expanding the franchise into active wear for the first time.
The collection focuses on apparel designed specifically to represent the newest movie, with a new hoodie, sweats and a pair of sneakers. The functional features of the collection include a Velcro strap to make putting on and taking off as easy as possible, with a subtle yet fun Storm Trooper graphic on the upper. The tracksuit was made in a black and white or red and black colorway with the Star Wars logo subtly placed on the chest.
The new Star Wars clothing line by adidas is currently only being sold in sizes suited for children.
