Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens  is on every fan's mind, and you better believe the merchandising tie-ins will continue for years to come. Everything from T-shirts to ballpoint pens with everyone from Yoda to Poe Dameron will fill store shelves.

But let's face it, a Yoda T-shirt just doesn't cut it.

You want something cool yet sophisticated. Something visible yet not too flashy.

You want a pair of shoes from the Vans Star Wars collection; seriously.

 

Look at the design on these Vans .  They're muted and modern. Plus it takes a couple of seconds before you fully notice the highly detailed Darth Vader print. Tim Gunn would approve!

The comic book-like print gives the shoe a touch of punk while staying true to that "Classic Era" label.
