After all my years of waiting you can finally get a pair of kicks called ‘Skywalkers’ with Starwars badging! Thanks to this new collaboration between Adidas and Lucasfilm my life is now complete.
WTF does this have to do with boardsports? I hear you ask. Well, in case you didn’t know, Yoda was a surfer, and a damn good one, in fact if you look closely you’ll realise that Tom Carroll is in fact Yoda in disguise! Now that I’ve said it you understand, the stocky frame, the zen like attitude, it’s all there!
Anyways, I’m a Star Wars geek, just just sit back and enjoy this product. Here is the press release if you want more info but for me the pics speak for themselves.
