I like the Yodas a lot, as said, nice and clean, simple and understated. That said I will never pay the £100s required to get a pair now.

Exactly my point, there's absolutely nothing to get excited about, it's just a bog-standard, no-thrills, non-descript Beige Supe. But wait! Throw in a tenuous Star Wars connection and some nostalgic packaging and suddenly it's become sexy and desirable? Really?

The Yoda's are lovely, if they were 40-50 quid.

The prices are fucking stupid for what is essentially a nice cream pair of canvas supes.

I quite like the yodas would happily pay 120-150 for a DS pair, the vaders how ever do nothing for me

@Shell:

It's got to be the hemp, and the subtle CW... yes it is only Yoda's garms... but he was a well dressed Henson puppet with a fisting sensation.
But alas they are over priced and the bubble plastic is gimmicky. The star wars thing is madness.

don't care about the packaging (although it was very creative of adidas to do that bubble package!!!).
don't care that they are related to Star Wars. they don't need a name like Yoda.
i'm with benji.... hemp and subtle CW. the cool "superstar" on the heel is nifty as well Wink
kind of resemble these from Journeys.....

Dang SS.... just let people like what they want to like. i'm sure there's some Supes that you rock that some of us think are hideous creations Wink if you think there's no way that anyone on here would dislike any of your personal likes of Supes, then dare us and post some pics Very Happy

£100 for Yodas isn't that outrageous - they were almost that new, weren't they?




RE: Today I'll mostly be wearing superstars.. (part 5) - spitey - 10-11-11

they were £100 over here!!
Very Happy

Not got a pair but I really like the Yodas.
Thought the star wars tie in and the packaging was cool back then but the whole collaboration has been devalued by the unending and increasingly poor stream of adidas star wars tat.

Seriously, I ain't tryin to say people can't like what they want to, apologies if it's come across that way. I'm just trying to understand why people get so frothy about this particular shoe. It's not particularly offensive or distasteful, its just so....vanilla and I fail to see what everyone else gets so excited about
