By now we’ve seen the Star Wars x adidas Originals Pack a few times, with looks at the many different character-inspired models together. Today we’re changing things up though, as we’re taking a look at the details of a single shoe in the adidas X8000 “Darth Vader,” which features designs elements taken form the namesake bad guy, and some very cool packaging. Details you’ll notice include the multiple costume elements borrowed from Darth Vader’s costume, including the paneling on the toe and metal grate design near the heel. Suede and leather alternate for panels throughout the upper, and a line-drawing of Vader appears on the underside of the sole. Bits of red are used as well, including the Star Wars logo on the debray and on the panel at the top of the heel. Similar to a few pairs we covered in our Movie-Inspired Sneakers: The Sequel recap, these are packaged similar to an old school action figure. |
