adidas-stormtrooperAgain, I’m not a sneaker head. I don’t really have a collection of limited edition anything clothes related, actually. But I AM a bit of an Adidas fan. So when I saw these, I stopped and looked close. Ricky Kim (of Evil Manito) posted the first images on facebook some time ago. Generally speaking, I hate gimmicky gear. I like Guinness beer, and I like french cuff shirts, but I will not wear a Guinness branded french cuff shirt. It’s just silly. Even for me, the guy with a TARDIS on his desk.

But sometimes, it works. The Ferrari Puma stuff, for example. Love it. They’re mostly the only red items of clothing I own, actually. I also love the Ecko Star Wars stuff, and when I thought about it, I’m totally waiting on the Ecko/Timex watches (Boba Fett Indiglo. Yeah.) so I wondered…could Adidas do something I’d actually wear (with the Ecko stuff, preferably?)

And if not, is it something cool enough for my Clone Wars-loving son to rock?

Yep. This is Star Wars gear even a Trekker can love.
