Adidas collabs with Lucasfilm for the second time, taking on a Star Wars Battle-theme pack featuring three key running models.
Inspired by the starships of the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, the Ultra Boost S&L, Ultra Boost 2019 and Alphaedge 4D celebrates a revered factor of the Star Wars story, now in footwear form.
The X-Wing Starfighter inspired Ultraboost S&L pair leads the pack, enrobing a colour palette reminiscent of the ship’s grey and orange artillery and outer shell. The ‘Most Responsive Shoe’ in the Galaxy comes equipped with glow-in-the-dark elements, semi-shiny engineered mesh and metalized stripes, making it a standout in low-light environments. The iconic cage comes in leather which sits atop a Boost sole and quotes like “STAY ON TARGET” and “THE FORCE WILL BE WITH YOU,ALWAYS” are imprinted on each heel’s webbing.
The Ultraboost 19 takes on the Millennium Falcon owning a grey and blue finish, with the silhouette elevated with a metallic yarn makeup, matte metalized cage, metalized heel counter and illuminative elements. The additional details include notable phrases like “JUMP TO LIGHTSPEED” and “NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS” emblazoned on the pair.
Rounding out the pack is The Death Star focused Alphaedge 4D shoe, which gives a nod to the film’s most notorious space station. Its glow-in-the-dark elements are fused with a knit, metallic-yarn upper that’s fixed to the shoes 3D-printed and 4D midsole. The pair adorns an infamous laser green and space black colourway, finished with “THAT’S NO MOON” and “THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE” slogans.
The adidas x Star Wars Space Battle-theme pack will be available at selected adidas stores and adidas.com.my from 21st November onwards retailing between RM750 to RM1400.
