The collection for the first season is split into three packs -- The Characters Pack, the Vehicles Pack and the Direct Pack. The products in each pack take inspiration from the respective aspect of the Star Wars lexicon from legendary characters and crafts to classic scenes and fuse them with iconic adidas Originals silhouettes. The pieces will begin to hit all adidas Originals stores and other select retailers in January. Also, look out for a very special web application announcing the adidas and Star Wars collaboration which will hit the internet within the next couple of weeks. Below is an overview of the products within each pack.




Characters Pack
This pack takes the most iconic moments and characters from the Star Wars saga and brings them to life across five sneakers, two short sleeve T-shirts and the Superstar Track Top.












Vehicles Pack
For this pack, inspiration from the well known vehicles and crafts from the Star Wars saga are taken and translated into five iconic adidas Originals sneakers and two key adidas Originals apparel models. Across these models homage has been paid to the distinguished features of airborne crafts and land based vehicles from both sides of the Force and executed them to appeal to both adidas and Star Wars fans alike.




Direct Pack





Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers appear in this pack as well as in the Characters pack. Also, the Women's Game Mid silhouette that appears here is inspired by Princess Leia, featuring gold detailing paired with a modern high-top silhouette with matching apparel.

adidas made use of the Bread&Butter Winter 2010 get together to celebrate the launch of their Star Wars collaboration collection that was already reported on several times all over the internets. The party took place in a cool underground location in Berlin. 












 The products in the season’s first drop take inspiration from legendary Star Wars characters and scenes and fuse them with iconic adidas Originals silhouettes. In this first look we present details of the upcoming Skywalker and Yoda sneakers, as well as a Star Wars tee and Stormtrooper hoodie. The pieces will begin to hit all adidas Originals stores and other select retailers in January.



Also, a report about a collaboration between Porter and Star Wars is in the works. The line consists of tote bags, backpacks, shoulder bags and wallets. They used a Stormtrooper and a lightsaber all-over pattern on the bags. We appreciate the fact that they kept it pretty subtle with the colors and patterns, at least compared to what they could have done. The collection will be released at Zozo in January 2010.






After the adidas Originals x Star Wars collection, as well as the Porter x Star Wars line, here you get a look at the New Era x Star Wars cap collection here now. All of your favorite characters are included in the line-up. Of course most of the caps are a little extreme, but for the hardcore fans among you, definitely something to look out for! Via Warp.

Pollux was born in Paris on the 18th May 1967.
In his French veins runs Madagascan, Romanian and Hungarian blood.
He grew up in Paris.

THEM
An explosive release of creative potential took place on the 14th February 1997, in Paris, as the destinies of Lulú and Pollux met... Lulú and Pollux joined forces immediately and instinctively, calling themselves LuLúxpo (formed from combining Lulú and Luxpo), a common creative project maximising the potential of two unique personalities and a message of pertinent simplicity: Love Is Power ! From that moment on, transformed by their liaison, the most glamorous couple on the Geneva scene would dedicate their time to broadcasting their message of love across their world. A world that they see as simply the interaction of their multiple talents : music, painting, fashion, design, image... They literally transform everything they touch into a means toward their goal of Universal Love. Lulú and Pollux would unite their souls in marriage on the 9th December 2000. They premiered in Paris, where, during events organized by their friends, they exhibited their canvases, small objects and accessories. Their joint artistic career would not however truly begin until in February 1998, when, having had their fill of Paris, they decided to move to Geneva, a city that they were fond of, in particular, for the quality of life and the human qualities that emanate as much from the walls as from the people that live there, as well as the incredible artistic potential that the city generates.


ABOUT LULÚXPO


Introduced to the public as musicians, LuLúxpo have progressively revealed to those who thought they were just DJ's and promoters, a rich and complex visual universe, in which we find a mixture of movement, texture and colour. Within this universe the different facets of their creativity reside inextricably and intimately linked to one another, and each medium in which they choose to work is but a means to the ultimate purpose of their art, to transmit their message : Love Is Power ! LuLúxpo continue to knock on doors and raise spirits, carrying joy, a message of love and a powerful artistic universe. It is second nature to them. The shock wave of love emitted by LuLúxpo extends exponentially through all that receive and adopt it...
