Along with an upcoming collaborative range with Song For The Mute, adidas has also joined forces with Star Wars and Nanzuka for a “Darth Vader”-inspired NMD_R1.
The Star Wars x Nanzuka x adidas NMD_R1 “Darth Vader” is a highly anticipated sneaker collaboration that blends the iconic aesthetics of the Star Wars franchise with the sleek, contemporary design of the adidas NMD_R1 silhouette.
Drawing inspiration from the ominous and powerful Sith Lord, this special release pays homage to one of the most recognizable villains in cinematic history. The shoe’s upper features a full black color scheme, mirroring the dark and foreboding nature of Darth Vader’s iconic costume. Subtle details, such as the tonal Three-Stripes branding and the textured overlays, evoke the character’s intimidating presence and mechanical elements. The midsole, a signature component of the NMD_R1, follows in the core black color scheme. Rounding out the final design cues are the “Most Impressive” verbiage, echoing a memorable line from Vader’s confrontation with Luke in The Empire Strikes Back, emblazoned on the heel.
Mark your calendars as the Star Wars x Nanzuka x adidas NMD_R1 “Darth Vader” will be released on June 18 via adidas.com and select retailers for $150. Keep it locked to our Sneaker Release Dates Calendar for updates.
