Instead of embedding a phone into a shoe, this Chinese knock-off is turning a clamshell phone into an adidas sneaker. It even features tread on the back, which is a nice touch.
Throw this on a smartphone and I’m sold. My hands could use better traction and arch support.
Even more stuff from the adidas 2010 Fall/Winter Star Wars collection—matching jackets for the Chewbacca and Stormtrooper sneakers unveiled earlier today.
Adidas is really milking the hell out of this Star Wars line—so I assume people are actually buying this stuff. All I know is that they get a lot of publicity because nerds like myself can’t help but write about it.
Earlier today we featured the Jabba The Hut addition to the Adidas Originals sneaker lineup, but it seems that there is more where that came from. Enter Chewbacca boots, Boba Fett running shoes, R2-D2 + C3-PO half and half low-tops and Stormtrooper high-tops.
Yeah, you are going to need those running shoes to get away from Boba Fett.
Still no word on pricing, but you can expect these to arrive in time for the Fall/Winter of 2010. Check out the rest of the collection after the break.
We’ve seen several of the Star Wars-themed sneakers in the adidas Originals line—like Han Solo, Darth Vader and Hoth Superskate—but now they are paying tribute to arguably the ugliest character in the entire series. Of course I’m talking about Jabba The Hut. (UPDATED)
Before you get too excited, no—these  Tron sneakers from adidas don’t actually have embedded lights. It uses “glow in the dark stitch detailing and reflective TRON disk screenprints to echo the lighting, color schemes and self-illuminated costumes featured in the film.”
Interesting…because the black shoes shouldn’t “glow” blue. But I digress…
So, from the right angle, your shoes will look straight out of Flynn’s Arcade. And pairing them with one of these glow-in-the-dark Tron hoodies is a must. Look for the shoes to arrive in December 2010.
Jeremy Scott’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection is shaping up to be his weirdest yet. The collection will include transparent shoes with wings, glow-in-the-dark shoes with wings and flames and, my personal favorite, teddy bear sneakers with arms.
Adidas continues their line of Star Wars-themed footwear with the Han Solo SL72 sneakers.
“Remember when Darth Vader froze Han Solo in carbonite and then shipped him off to Jabba the hutt? Sick, wasn’t it? Well, Han is the inspiration behind the look of the adidas Start Wars SL-72, featuring other Han Solo details like his signature belt and the red sides of his pants.â€
It even features Solo frozen in carbonite on the tongue, which was a nice touch. Look for these to arrive sometime in the fall of 2010.
The adidas Originals JS Wings 2.0 won’t offer protection during your time of the month, but they do evoke the spirit of the Hermes—the messenger of the Gods and the protector of travelers and athletes everywhere.
Expect the shoes to launch on August 10th wherever adidas Originals are sold.
Being a nerd is a head to toe operation. You can’t dedicate your attire to electronics or sci-fi and leave footwear out in the cold… there are too many possibilities. We’re confident that after viewing these 10 examples, you’ll wonder how any nerd ensemble could be complete without the proper kicks.
We already know what the rebels will be wearing on the field, but now the Empire has it’s own line of Adidas sportswear. Behold the DARKSIDESTAR sneakers and the Empire Athletics gym shirt.
