The Star Wars x Adidas Han Solo Sneakers Cement Harrison Ford in Fashion

— August 12, 2011 — Fashion
Storm Troopers and Darth Vader have gotten some love from Adidas, but it's time for the franchise's badass smuggler to get some attention with the Star Wars x Adidas Han Solo Sneakers.

The on-going series between the sci-fi franchise and the sports company has been impressive so far and both do not disappoint with these kicks. The Star Wars x Adidas Han Solo Sneakers features a perforated upper for breathability, hook-and-loop ankle straps for support and a nice zip-up design up front. Look at the tongue of the shoe and you'll see Han Solo's face embedded onto it. The overall color scheme looks a lot like one of the flight jackets that's part of the Star Wars x Adidas collection, which is a great design approach. This sneaker is an indication of just how impressive this collaboration has been thus far.
