The new collection is in honor of Star Wars Day and the 45th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
Our friends over at Shoe Palace just dropped an incredible collab with Star Wars to celebrate the 45th anniversary of arguably the greatest Star Wars film in history. It includes designs with Darth Vader, Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, and much more.
Here’s the press release from Shoe Palace:
Shoe Palace is celebrating the 45 Anniversary of the greatest sequel of all time with an exclusive apparel line! The Empire Strikes Back collection is dedicated to the iconic film from 1980. The exclusive line includes tees, hoodies and more that can only be found at Shoe Palace.
The Empire Strikes Back was released 3 years after the first Star Wars film, A New Hope. It changed the way fans looked at the original film, with reveals like Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker’s father. It also helped the franchise stay relevant and pushed the saga into new and exciting directions.
The Shoe Palace collection uses characters from The Empire Strikes Back and places them on exclusive designs that have been added to premium apparel pieces. Pieces in the assortment include a Boba Fett Jersey, oversized hoodies based on Jedi & Sith garb and an assortment of tees that have poster art and characters from the saga. The prices range from $29.99–$89.99.
The Shoe Palace x The Empire Strikes Back collection will release exclusively at Shoe Palace stores and on shoepalace.com this May.
At select locations, a new poster for the 45th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back will be given out. Check here on how to find a location near you, and the entire collection is available to purchase online here.
About Shoe Palace:
In 2023 Shoe Palace celebrated 30 years of business. The footwear company currently has over 200 locations across the country and a successful e-commerce website. The retailer is one of the most trusted names in the industry with a list of partners that includes Nike, Jordan Brand, adidas, New Balance and many, many more. Shoe Palace is the realization of a dream its founder, Agob Mersho, believed could only be accomplished in America. His goal from the start was simple, he wanted to provide a better life for his wife and five kids.
In 1978, Agob made the bold choice to move his family from their home country of Syria to the United States. It took 15 years of trial and error, but eventually the first Shoe Palace location opened its doors in the Bay Area of California in 1993.
