Sneak Peek> Adidas-Meets-Star Wars Geek Chic

The Ultimate Gift for Your Star Wars Lovin’ Sweetheart

We shunned and mocked them. But chess club nerds the world over have had their revenge now that geeks are cool. Or at least dressing like one is. Designers from Viktor & Rolf, Marcus Wainwright and David Neville of Rag & Bone often embrace the geek chic aesthetic in their runway collections. Enter Adidas with the ultimate geek chic accoutrement: Star Wars-themed sneakers.

Don’t be surprised if too-cool-for-school hipsters like Kanye West, poppa-to-be Pete Wentz or Knocked Up’s neo-nerd star Seth Rogan sport the limited edition shoes on the red carpet this fall. With such huge hype surrounding high-end sneakers, the “Force Pack” will be the get of a lifetime. Priced at $150, the dark side “Darth Vader” and the light side of the Force “Yoda” will be available this September. Shop for cool Adidas sneakers on sale here.

Jack Black and Lucy Liu: Shoes to Kung Fu To!

Kung Fu Panda Marketing Machine Hits London sans Angelina

Last night, Jack Black and Lucy Liu were on hand to kick off the premiere of Kung Fu Panda in London. Angelina Jolie, having worked overtime to promote the blockbuster in Cannes, takes a third-trimester break from the action. We love this shot of her flanked by her bump-worshipping co-stars Dustin Hoffman and Jack Black at the photo call in Cannes last May.

Yesterday, the marketing juggernaut continued in Leicester Square, London. No one mounts red carpet stunts quite like the promotions execs at Dreamworks. Marshalling in prop pieces, acrobats, paying guys to stand around in mammoth panda suits… there’s nothing that the Dreamworks marketing machine won’t do to get attention. Jack Black, ever ready to strike a pose, got into “character” for the carpet - resulting in great visibility for Adidas!

You can Kung Fu in style too, find the best price on these obviously sporty Adidas Consortium at Shoecompare.com

And yes, doing stunts like Jack will get you pride of place in the ShoeMinx scheme of things. As you can see here, it goes priority preggers, then hijinks (we love hijinks!), then uumph. Lucy Liu comes in with a sky high uumph factor in these black sling back stilettos.

May we suggest another pair of sexy black slingbacks at Shoecompare.com, these Report Signature Platform Sandals are ready to do some walkin’.
