The Adidas x Star Wars ZX 8000 Emperor is Full of the Dark Force

The Adidas x Star Wars ZX 8000 Emperor are the latest addition to the Adidas x Star Wars collection. These kicks take their inspiration from the villainous Emperor Palpatine who corrupted the mind of the young Anneken Skywalker, who later turned into Darth Vader.

These black kicks feature piercing blue detailing that seems to radiate and glow with the evil energy of the dark force. The soles also have a wicked lightning graphic that references the maniacal powers of the evil ruler. The Adidas x Star Wars ZX 8000 Emperor also has soles that glow in the dark adding a truly sinister aura to these sneaks. You might be able to out play any Jedi in these sporty Star Wars shoes.
