Shoe Palace Reveals Out of This World May the 4th Star Wars Collection

May the 4th has become the perfect time to celebrate the Star Wars franchise, though that’s not the only reason to celebrate at the moment. That’s because it’s also the 45th anniversary of the iconic sequel Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and Shoe Palace is celebrating both occasions with a stylish new clothing collection that is out of this world. While the general theme is based around Empire Strikes Back, any fan of the franchise can find something to love, with stunning designs featuring Darth Vader, Yoda, Han Solo, Leia, Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, and more. You can check out the entire collection right here, and it will be available starting on May 4th.

If you’re a fan of hoodies and jerseys, you are in luck, as there’s a sleek all-black Sith pullover hoodie that immediately stands out, especially the paired with the matching pants with a dash of red on the side. Keeping with the Sith theme, there’s also the Darth Vader jersey in fitting black and silver, though the best touch to the whole thing is the 77 number on the back. There’s also the Boba Fett jersey and shorts set, featuring Fett’s trademark green, yellow, and red color scheme.

A few of my favorite designs include the Han Solo and Leia Organa button-up shirt, which features gorgeous artwork across the front that feels incredibly cinematic. There’s also the Lightning design, which features the Jedi icon Yoda front and center. The Star Wars Collage design features Vader, the Death Star, and a number of Stormtroopers ready for battle.

If you want something a bit brighter in tone, the Millennium Falcon shirt and shorts set and the Star Wars Poster shirt and shorts set are perfect for you. Both feature a beige and black color scheme, and while the Millennium Falcon shirt features a more minimalist design of the Falcon on the back, the Star Wars Poster features a gorgeous full poster print design on the back, and might be one of my favorites in the collection.

There are even more designs in the collection, and you can see some of those in the galleries above and below. You can also find the full collection description below.
