With the classic strategy followed by Adidas, the German sportswear and sneaker giant has decided not to launch all the models at once, but to present them one by one. This will help them to hold the expectations and desire of the fans.

This silhouette is presented in a mesh material on the upper part in black with accents that contrast in light blue and golden details on the BOOST midsole, the colors are inspired by the characteristic outfit that the character used in Star Wars: The Empire Fight back. The laces feature some understated details, and Lando Calrissian’s image is emblazoned on the tongue of the shoe.
