Skechers x Star Wars Collection: “The Force Is Strong On These Shoes”
The ‘Force‘ has awakened in Skechers Philippines as they unveiled their newest Skechers X Star Wars Collection a few days ago in a geekery-filled launch at the Glorietta 2 hub in Makati City, Philippines.
We arrived on time in earnest anticipation of what lies beyond the galaxy far, far away. But it turned out to be not too far afterall.
Opening the program with a showcase of lightsaber-clad jedi knights, global footwear company Skechers unveiled the collection of footwear featuring characters, vehicles, and designs inspired by the Star Wars universe. It featured familiar characters like Chewbaacca, Yoda, Storm Troopers, and Darth Vader, among others, from the original and prequel trilogies at takeoff, as well as new fan favorites from upcoming content.
A Geeky Fashion Statement
For the age-mature but still kids at heart like me, they have the design-minimalist yet stylish black-and-white mash of the “Star Wars” logo printed on Skechers slip-ons..
The second option for the adult male is the geeky slip-on called “The Menace – New Hope” slip-on Skechers equipped with the Gogamat cushion for a comfortable wear which is a trademark of Skechers.
The design is a classic Star Wars poster featuring the adult Luke Skywalker with Princess Leia by her side – an iconic image of the Star Wars saga.
Guess what I chose?
On impulse decision, I would have gotten the former and more stylish :”Stars Wars” – logo-pattered Skechers shoe but the Star Wars geek-wannabe in me couldn’t pass-up on the chance to wear the classic Star Wars poster on my shoe. That, aside from the fact that the blue hue is very eye-catching.
Kids Wear Their Star Wars Character
Kids, on the other hand, will be able to express their love for all things Star Wars as well by wearing sneakers, with a more constructed variety of quality materials dawning bright, iconic, and familiar designs from the realm of Sith and Jedi. A child-version of the Star Wars slip-on of my choice is also available.
Here are the Skechers X Star Wars Collection of sneakers for kids:
Bring out your kid’s inner Jedi with the array of designs, coupled with lights and sounds that bring any Boba Fett, and R2D2-inspired footwear to life. On the other hand, the dark side doesn’t seem so bad with Darth Vader and Storm Troopers, among others.

“When it comes to iconic properties, there’s nothing in the entertainment world bigger than Star Wars. For nearly 40 years, this franchise has spanned box office successes, animated TV shows, books, and video games to build a dedicated fan base. Skechers is the second largest footwear brand in the U.S., and for two decades our kids’ character footwear has been an important part of our strategy,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers.

The Skechers Side
Since we don’t have a kid yet, my wife choose and got the Darth Vader Skechers Sneakers (Star Wars – Jagged Starfleet) for her nephew. Needless to say, the nephew was ecstatic upon receiving his Skechers Sneakers.
It would also be noteworthy to say that this is my first pair of Skechers!
