ADIDAS NMD R1 STAR WARS SHOES

Posted on 2020-07-27

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of “The Empires Strikes Back,” these sneakers take cues from the elite stormtroopers. One-piece Primeknit uppers are done up in white, with the standard Three Stripe graphic removed to provide a clean look. A healthy dose of black flecks nods to the two-tone nature of stormtrooper armor, and a stormtrooper visage sits on the tongue badge under the black eyestays. Interchangeable lace deubres provide the shoe’s signature detail, allowing the wearer to switch between a classic Star Wars graphic, first generation stormtrooper helmets and a stormtrooper spellout.

Memorable “Close the blast doors/Open the blast doors!” text hits taken directly from Episode IV appear on the heel tabs, while the midsole bricks feature blue ridged detailing on the heel and an adidas Originals logo towards the forefoot.

Fronted by an earthy colored vintage varsity jacket, the piece arrives with brown calf leather sleeves and embellishments that read “Be Yourself Only For Yourself” on the right chest, along with a mindseeker logo and an oversized “$” emblem on the back — the latter being representative of Tokyo’s Ura-Harajuku district while providing a luxurious feel. The collection is also comprised of grey and black T-shirts, hoodies and track pants that are contrasted by the yellow and turquoise logos of mindseeker and BBC/ICECREAM’s running dog mascot.
