adidas Star Wars 'Darth Vader' Zx 8000 (Bhb)

A serious meeting of franchises, it's hard to fathom just how much impact adidas and Star Wars had on us growing up. For 2010, they've worked together on a capsule collection with startling attention-to-detail across some popular and slightly more esoteric models. The blister-style packaging brings back happy memories of tearing open Kenner toys to commence minature combat.Twenty years back, at a point when compressed Air had us fiending, distracted from the clean simplicity of a ton of classic adidas, the Torsion system came and took what the brand did best - sleek runners, and added supportive gadgetry to turn the spotlight back for a minute or two. For that reason, the ZX 8000 takes us back, and we're inclined to think they've aged a lot better than the majority of their tech war rivals. A textbook example of adidas at a creative zenith, at a time when most performance designs lack the minerals and vitamins, irons and the Niacin to be a spark in the memory cells, let alone be fondly remembered two decades down the line, this '88 silhouette looks even more timeless than ever. Given the shoe's construction, it's an appropriate pick to represent the Sith lord himself, Darth Vader, and tweaks like that toebox stitching capture the look well - numbers are limited, and this collection seems to have fanboys across-the-board clambering for at least one pair, so act fast.
