The Star Wars and Adidas collaboration has proven to be a huge success, with massive sales and still more styles to be debuted. The latest from the line are the Adidas Darksidestars. The shoe comes in all black with neon pink (Darth Vader’s favorite color) highlights including the trademark three stripes.
I have yet to jump into this whole sci-fi sneaker craze, perhaps it is because my love for the Wars is not as strong as it was 15 years ago. Personal opinion aside, I think the Adidas Darksidestars should do immensely well, capitalizing from both the sci-fi geeks and the sneaker freaks.
