Adidas' 'Boba Fett' Samba Sneaker Is The Brand's Greatest 'Star Wars' Collaboration

Throughout the previous decade, Adidas and Star Wars have cooperated to create a variety of galaxy-inspired sneakers honoring characters such as Boba Fett, Yoda, C-3PO, and Stormtroopers. That collaboration is now continuing with a design that is unlike any other; a new "Sarlacc Pit" Samba celebrating bounty hunter Boba Fett's escape in the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi.

The Sarlacc Pit is a lair in the film that houses, yes, sarlaccs; monsters who swallow a person whole and slowly devour them over a thousand years. While battling near their pit, Boba Fett is thrown into the jaws of a sarlacc, and in order to prevent an agonizing death, he wounds the beast with an exploding sail barge.

The Sarlacc Pit Samba from Adidas captures this setting with a tan suede top that resembles Tatooine's sandy dunes. The Three Stripes and leather heel overlays are accented in dark brown, possibly to allude to the hue of the Sarlacc Pit. More visible features, like as tentacle patterns and toothy spikes on the heel, make the link plain but not overpowering.

The lateral logo on the Samba has been changed with "Boba Fett," a testament to his remarkable escape from the Sarlacc. Star Wars insignia appear on the tongue tags with Adidas branding, and the sneaker is finished with a gum outsole.

Rather than depending on a previously utilized (and stale) silhouette within Adidas' galactic relationship, the newest Star Wars shoe emulates the film series as a classic that everybody can appreciate. The Samba model, like Star Wars, was extremely popular in the 1970s and 1980s, and it still has a devoted fan base today (as well as multiple spin-offs).

The Sarlacc Pit Samba stands out... in a good way. As one of the few low-top lifestyle shoes in Adidas' Star Wars line, which previously concentrated on Top Ten His, Ultra Boosts, and NMD R1s, the Sarlacc Pit Samba distinguishes out... in a good way. Its design does not make us want to "vomit banta milk" like previous Star Wars shoes.

Adidas has not announced a release date for its themed sneakers, but they are likely to be available online in the coming months. Hopefully, obtaining the limited edition Star Wars sneakers will be easier than the effort depicted – may the Force be with you.

This Nike Waffle One Is Inspired By The Air Max 1 "Curry"

Image
The Waffle One is without a doubt one of Nike's most innovative new designs, bridging the gap between vintage and current style. The shoe's second appearance will feature a color scheme inspired by the popular Air Max 1 "Curry." The colorway bears a lot of parallels to the aforementioned, albeit it isn't quite uncanny in its likeness. To begin with, the color combination of "Cider" and "Twine" closely matches the food-inspired hue; they're even balanced out in a similar way, with white and its creamier offshoots adorning the Swoosh and sole adjacent. Furthermore, there is a hint of blue on the upper, though it is much more subdued here. This Curry-inspired Nike Waffle One gets an official look right here. Within the next few months, sizes should be available on Nike.com and at select stores. Nike Waffle One "Curry" Release Date: 2022 Color: Cider/Twine-Lemon Drop-Light Bone-Game Royal-Pollen Mens: $120 Style Code: DO2380-200

Bootleg Bapestas Are Back From Bape And Reebok

Image
Isn't there such a thing as too much of a good thing? The two are back in action with a new set of collaborative Reebok designs, picking up where last year's collaboration left off. They are two well-worn BAPE models, so there's not much new ground being broken here, but these are among of the cleanest colours the pair has done to date. BAPE and Reebok's latest low-top, like the previous Club C, has the iconic star on the medial side and "BAPESTA" branding on the heel, making it a good alternative to the chunkier OG original. It's a little amusing to see a shoe inspired by the AF1 given new life atop one of Reebok's court shapes, but it's a better appearance for the all-white design, shaping up to be a little cleaner than a traditional pair. A new Instapump Fury has arrived. It's no surprise that BAPE is bringing back the bulky runner, which has been a perennial best-seller in Japan. It's also no surprise that the sneaker comes in three dif...

It Doesn't Get Any Sweeter Than This For The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate"

Image
Since its comeback in the shoe business, the Nike Dunk has had a plethora of colorways. Sneakerheads all over the world have enjoyed a variety of colorways with themed features over the last two years, some in commemorative designs and others that are just plain simple and lovely. And while we're on the subject of sweets, the Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" just dropped, and a closer look at the shoe reveals that it can't be any sweeter than it already is! The iteration has a high-top profile, which gives the heels and ankles more support. Unlike its "Light Chocolate Sail" counterpart from last year, which had milky hues, this premium leather rendition has darker brown tones. The shoelaces, Nike Swoosh emblems on the lateral and medial sides, and the full-length midsole underfoot, all of which are in a pure white gradient, are the only pieces that add a flash of contrast to this delicious configuration. The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" is an absolute must...
