Vans Star Wars Sk8-Hi
With the recent announcement of the new Star Wars cast (welcome back, Harrison and Carrie!), it was only a matter of time before the movie’s merch would be rolled out. Thankfully, the latest collab between SoCal skate shoe label Vans and Star Wars isn’t coinciding with the release of the new film (set for 2015), instead the brand’s added classic Star Wars iconography onto four of its most iconic styles.
Star Wars Half-Cab Darth Vader
Vans Era Darth and Storm Trooper print
With six styles in total, fanboys and sneakerheads alike can choose from designs featuring Darth Vader himself, sage Jedi Yoda and storm trooper prints. The prints are a throwback to Van’s classic prints, only instead of skulls and crossbones, you’ll find Vader and the storm troppers. Look a little closer at the summer ready palm print and you’ll spy a few AT-Walkers among the palm trees. You can choose whether to side with the Empire or the Rebel Alliance, but if we know Star Wars fans, both styles are sure to sell out in no time. And with styles starting at just $80, you might just want to grab a pair from each side, because nobody knows what J.J. Abrams has up his sci-fi sleeve.
The Vault by Vans Star Wars collection will be available at Opening Ceremony locations in L.A., New York and London as well as online at www.vansdqm.com starting May 3.
