Adidas had a very big year in 2020 when it came to the galaxy far, far away. In honor of The Empire Strikes Back’s 40th anniversary, the shoe company released a slew of Star Wars inspired footwear. Those offerings included the amazing Boba Fett high tops that hit shelves back in September. Well, they’re at it again. This time, though, we take a trip to the light side of the Force with the brand new Yoda Stan Smith.

The white, all-leather sneaker has been a mainstay for the mega-shoe manufacturer since the company first introduced the style in 1965. (Adidas didn’t rename them for Stan Smith until the late 70’s, however.) There have been quite a few variations over the years, including several Star Wars-inspired pairs in just recently. The new Yoda Stan Smith joins those ranks, and of course the secondary color is green.

News of the new design comes to us from sneakernews.com. This shoe will be part of the “Character Pack” from Adidas, featuring recycled materials. The Yoda Stan Smith joins the collection together with another shoe based on a popular swamp dweller, Kermit the Frog. Here are some of the details we know:

  • Shoe construction includes white, “Primegreen” leather uppers;
  • The heel tab features Yoda’s face embossed in, of course, green;
  • The sole is a light tan, supposedly meant to mimic the color of Yoda’s Jedi robes;
  • Yoda’s classic line “There is no try” is embossed on the side.

The Yoda Stan Smith is not available, but is supposedly coming soon. The latest Star Wars shoe will also retail for $120.00, USD. We suggest checking back to the Adidas website often, and we’ll update this article when the shoes go live. Until then, check out the company’s other Star Wars shoes, and may the Force be with you!
