Bun B x Greedy Genius Cool Breeze “Vader”
When Bun B makes a shoe, you know that there has to be “candy”, but black and grey patent drew inspiration from the Don of the Empire Darth Vader. Greedy Genius worked up a video campaign to promote the shoe that featured a sampled and remixed version of the Imperial March.

Adidas made the best Star Wars kicks eeeever! I think the Boba’s & Asics are a stretch! But any 70’s kids are gonna go with Adidas.

Those asics look flawless in the pics but when I ordered them from davidz I returned them the same day I got them in the mail because they were horrible in person.

““no love for the stormtrooper dunks… those started my dunk collection”
they were dubbed the venoms more so then the stormtroopers, i did hear that before, but i think the true name is venom, since they released with the spiderman mids
they were hot tho”
im not talking about those lame sbs, im talking about the stormtroopers that dropped in 2002 at footaction, but i still think the STORMTROOPERS(not venoms) should get at least an honorable mention, hell even the ugly fetts got thrown some love
