The legendary Wookiee warrior has been honored through-and-through with his own pair of Rivalry Hi sneakers, which are made from leather, suede, and a faux fur fabric that looks as if your feet have turned into Chewbacca’s. adidas Originals has used a color palette consisting of “Raw Desert,” “Mesa,” and “Chalk White,” to further channel the Wookiee realness.
There are also a number of other details that help bring this shoe to life. For example, a strap on the tongue is a nod to the belt Chewbacca wore during Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, while “STAR” and “WARS” lace locks have been added in chrome silver to make sure you know exactly what you’re repping.
Chewbacca’s face and name grace the tonal tongue tag, while his entire seven-foot, five-inch body has been shrunk to fit on the insole. On the interior side of the tongue tag there is a further reference to the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and rounding out the pair is a debossed Trefoil logo on the heel.
The Chewbacca inspired Rivalry Hi are set for release on October 21st at adidas’s website for £119.95 (approx. $155) — happy hunting!
