Adidas… Oh, you sneaky loveable bastards… Last month, iGT showed a glimpse of next years Star Wars themed collection from Adidas Originals and Lucas Arts. Now we finally get to see whole she-bang! While some of the sneakers and shoes are very subtle when it comes to it’s relations to the Star Wars universe like the Imperial AT-AT Walker high-top sneakers, some of the designs are quite in-your-face epic such as the X-Wing fighter pilot uniform, TIE fighter, and Planet Dagobah inspired shoes and clothing. The collection will be split into three different waves according to the theme type.
- 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, we have taken inspiration from the well known vehicles and crafts from the Star Wars saga and translated them to our five most iconic adidas Originals sneakers and two key adidas Originals apparel models. Across these models we have paid homage 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.
This epic collection is only the first season collection so it is safe to assume that there will be more to come. The collection will be available through Adidas Original stores and participating retailers. I personally will be dropping a shit load of credits to get some of these goodies. Will I wear them? I do not know. I am not sure I can handle some dumb Star Trek bastard accidently steppin’ on my kicks. Unless, she’s really cute. I’ll let it pass.

iGT is back after a few days of leave. I do apologize to the 2-3 people that frequently visits our little operation for the lack of posts over the last few days. Apparently, injured knees results in not being able to use a computer. Who knew!? Oh well, Im going to take the time to make up some lost ground.
This week, iGT will feature two new catergories called “Impromptu” and “Customized”. Impromptu will be small tasty geek morsel of cool artwork and images without crazy amount of reading involved. Impromptu will be a great featurette for you to see more updated post goodness from us. Customized will be a feature of artist/craftsmen custom parody or original art and toys. You won’t find repaints only. We expect full blown overhauls of the original to produce something new and bitchin’. That being said, here we have something that satisfies both catergories!
To celebrate the upcoming “Brain Invaders” episode of The Clone Wars, Star Wars artist, Matt Busch put a delectable spin to the original Star Wars posters with a gruesome zombie twist. All 6 “episodes” of the saga got the zombie treatment. I especially love the undead Luke Skywalker in the New Hope parody. Great job Mr. Busch! Hit the jump to check out the rest of Matt Busch’s great poster art!

I came here… on a boat. Not a dime in my po-cket.
Scar Wars.. HA! This is a mash up that causes me nothing more than insane laughter. YouTube community member, Devodana71 created this trailer for a movie called Scar Wars which is obviously a mash up of Brian De Palma’s Scarface and George Luca’s Star Wars. The mash up trailer is made of various rapid cuts of scenes from Scarface, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and others, set to the music of Scarface. That song really takes me back a bit. My favorite parts of the trailer has to be the narration and Grand Moff Tarkin. F*@kin’ cock-a-roach!

I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT! I love old school video games like Donkey Kong. I love Star Wars. Thanks to Threadless and Carlos Escarrega (AKA Yimbo), I might get the opportunity to enjoy both of those loves in one t-shirt. As usual, Threadless is asking its loyal fans about which illustration they wish to see on a shirt. Yimbos entry, “Return of the Bit” is a humorous mash up of the epic scene from Star Wars Return of the Jedi where Luke Skywalker and Han Solo is trying to save Princess Leia from the greasy grips of Jabba the Hutt with the iconic ladder and barrel tossin’ game of Donkey Kong. Yimbo illustrates a worm like Donkey Kong fashioned to look like Jabba with a less than sexy Leia in her slave outfit. Unfortunately, Leia looks like a guy with a pony tail rather than a hot princess in a bikini, but who cares! It’s a pretty funny shirt and I hope Yimbo gets the nod to have his great illustration graced on a shirt on Threadless.
You can vote for Yimbo’s “Return of the Bit” design at Threadless! Good luck Yimbo!
What a drag… While we were knee deep in Thanksgiving festivities and Black Friday mayhem, TeeFury decided to drop this fantastic Star Wars inspired Christmas t-shirt. Unfortunately, while I was feeding on turkey and was taking a break from internet life, I completely missed out on the opportunity to buy this shirt. If you weren’t aware, TeeFury shirts are limited edition and only on sale for a 24 hour window. Titled “Hothmas”, this festive shirt features a very adorable AT-AT Imperial Walker donning reindeer antlers and Rudolph’s signature bright red nose. However, the Rebels aren’t easily fooled by this Christmas AT-AT as an Rebel A-Wing is pretty much out to destroy the four legged bastard. Beautifully illustrated by AEGIS of Don and Summer, this shirt is now long gone and a distant memory. This is turning out to be the start of a disappointing Hothmas.
