Stride Rite has released some ultra cool shoe designs inspired by the Star Wars universe. They light up and feature Light and Dark side themes. From the press release:

“Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace will be released in 3D on February 10th, and Stride Rite is ready for the occasion. Watch the battle between good and evil unfold on your feet with the dueling light saber sneaker, or bring out the inner Star Wars fanatic in your baby with the Robeez Yoda. This collection features fun designs featuring Darth Maul, Captain Rex and other favorites, extending the fantasy with lights and light sabers! Built with Stride Rite fit, quality and innovation, these shoes are perfect to superpower any Jedi in training.”

The sad part? They’re only available for toddlers and children.

I can’t sit here and tell you that I am all that pumped about the upcoming Clone Wars film, but far be it from me to pass over a bit of cheap merchandise. This watch features a 3D relief sculpture of a Clone Trooper on the face that slides open to reveal buttons that can be pressed to play authentic Star Wars sound effects.
