Everybody on the planet nerds out about something. Whatever that particular something is, they’ll run off at the mouth for hours with all the dusty dirt, dates, details, and demographics whether you want to hear it or not. Act like you could care less about their nerdiness, they get sensitive and what not. One the other hand, If you pull that on a Star Wars fanatic you liable to get your head busted to the white meat.
That said Star Wars people, The Adidas Imeprial Guard Stan Smith 80′s? As Ghostface would say, “Yo, That’s not a good look B. That’s not poppin for you son.” TJ Maxx and Marshalls wouldn’t even carry those joints. In actuallity, most would agree that the previous Adidas x Star Wars releases haven’t hit the mark outside of the DeathStar fanboys. That is up until now. Some where someone either A) put their head in the game and touched The Force or B) got fired, because the 2011 Star Wars x Adi union is rather fresh. Add the right character references to the look book concept and its a done deal.
