The on-going series between the [sci-fi franchise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-x-et-collection) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set), which is a great design approach. This sneaker is an indication of just how impressive this collaboration has been thus far. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sci-fi Sneakers:** The fusion of sci-fi and fashion creates a unique avenue for sneaker collaborations that can be explored. - **Movie-inspired Footwear:** The success of the Star Wars x Adidas Han Solo Sneakers can be used to inspire more movie-collaboration footwear lines. - **Pop Culture Fashion:** The merging of pop culture with fashion creates a new niche for clothing and footwear brands to explore. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore popular movie franchises for unique collaborations that cater to niche audiences. - **Entertainment:** Movie studios can expand their brand by partnering with fashion brands to create unique merchandise for movie fans. - **Sports Equipment:** Sportswear brands can collaborate with popular movies to create unique product lines that cater to niche audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Insulated Sci-Fi Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/columbia-x-star-wars-skywalker-pilot-ski-collection.md) - [Winter-Ready Sci-Fi Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection.md) - [Comedic Sci-Fi Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fun-ghostbusters-sneakers.md) - [Dynamic Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-superstar.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Inspired Custom Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucasfilm.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Casual Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patrick-star-superstar.md) - [80s-Inspired Sci-Fi Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-romulus-reebok-bb-4000-ii-mid-shoes.md)
