If you think my sneaker stannery has some limit then you don’t even know the half. My shit is out there in the effin’ cosmos. I touch down on Earth every so often just to update this blog before I blast off again. There is nothing on my geek radar I go more apeshit for than Star Wars. If I have the opportunity to combine Star Wars x sneakers then I am happier than a clam is pesce poop.
I bought the NIKE SB’s that dropped in the fall that are being called the Boba Fett’s. I like them enough, but they made me really try to think about whether or not Boba Fett would wear them. I realized that Boba Fett was too bad ass futuristic for a pair of SB Dunk His. Don’t get me wrong, these kicks are awesome and the whole nine, but when you are talking about Boba Fett you are referring to the baddest Mandalorian bounty hunter of all tme. Sheeeeeit, the entire Imperial infantry was cloned from his DNA
So this begs the question… “What would Boba Fett wear?”
First off, it has to be hardbody futuristic for roaming the far reaches of the galaxy and the outer rim. [ll] to searching through the outer rim. Secondly, the shoes would have to comfortable since Boba Fett never gets undressed. Not even to deuce. His solid waste products are filtered into his jetpack as fuel. Boba Fett just redrinks his liquid waste. I told you sonn was hardbody.
This is a look at Boba Fett’s actual footwear. When I say actual I mean the shit that he wears to kick other people’s asses in. I wouldn’t be surprised if Boba Fett had a blaster in the toeplate. That is the future.
When I saw these NIKE Air Bakin shoes retro’d in a cool grey and slate colorway I knew I found the kicks that the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy would rock. If he were into that sort of thing. My lone customization from these pictures is that I replaced the white barrel rolled laces with slate joints so that you don’t even see them over the shoes vamp.
The best part is that Vault Harlem let me use my Jedi Force powers for the super discount.
