“May the 4th be with you.”<\/p>\n

That is a phrase that geeks are passing around today as Star Wars<\/strong> fans worldwide celebrate the unofficial Star Wars Day.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the day we composed a quick list of Star Wars inspired sneakers.? Think you know them all?? Click here to see how much of a geek you are.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Bun B x Greedy Genius Cool Breeze “Vader”<\/em><\/p>\n

When Bun B makes a shoe, you know that there has to be “candy”, but black and grey patent drew inspiration from the Don of the Empire Darth Vader. Greedy Genius worked up a video campaign to promote the shoe that featured a sampled and remixed version of the Imperial March.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

David Z x Asics Gel Lyte III<\/em><\/p>\n

Though there was never any official word that Darth Vader’s get up was the source of inspiration for this pair of Asics Gel Lyte III’s designed by Ronnie Fieg for David Z, make no mistake, the black patent, dark charcoal and red (Vader’s lightsaber) does the math for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike SB Dunk High “Boba Fett”
\n<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Don’t ask us how or why this pair was immediately dubbed the “Boba Fett” Dunks, but point the finger at a few hype beasts for creating one of the most ridiculous Star Wars connections in sneakers.? It would be a crime for us to leave these off the list, and then the empire would put Boba Fett’s bounty hunter skills to bring us to justice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike SB Dunk Low “Jedi”
\n<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Nike SB turned head and won over the hearts of Star Wars nerds across the web with the release of the “Jedi” Dunk SB.? This colorup would be a perfect match on Yoda’s 800 year old feet and hook up with his lightsaber as well.? Nike SB held nothing back and has no fear of a lawsuit from Lucas – they even state that Yoda did the colors for this pair.? Word is no pairs released on Dagobah.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adidas Consortium Star Wars Pack
\n<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Adidas Consortium came correct with a duo of Superstars to celebrate the best movie trilogy of all time.? Represented were both the light and dark side of the Force with pairs made for Yoda and Vader.? Yoda’s nap sack style rob was represented with a hemp upper while Vader got his shine with black patent. These both drew inspiration from what the two characters wore in the films, but Adidas took things a step further with “SUPER STAR” written in Star Wars font on the back of the sneakers as well as the action figure style packaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
