Our brand is founded on the idea of 'collision' -- wherein we juxtapose concepts, materials, and aesthetics to create exciting products, content, and experiences,” notes Millsap. “We had to strike a balance between the literal and the abstract such that all the beloved symbolism and visual language shown through without becoming predictable.” The collection is just one of five new capsules created by Star Wars | DC Shoes to celebrate original trilogy characters, with a new line fit for fans of rebels, Imperials, and notorious bounty hunters alike dropping on July 9. Designers at DC Shoes didn’t hesitate to work on this new collaboration, a first for the two brands. “Everyone on the team was excited -- in fact, very excited,” Clay Millsap, a color & material footwear designer at DC Shoes, tells StarWars.com of the new line. “ Star Wars has been a part of our lives for so long. It’s a dream project but also a challenging one. We knew that we needed to honor the incredible Star Wars legacy and pay attention to the details that fans would appreciate, but we also knew we wanted to bring a fresh point of view. Delivering both simultaneously isn’t easy.” The outline of Fett's yellow-painted pauldron mingles with other shapes pulled from his unique beskar armor, reimagined as an abstract pattern that is recognizable but not overtly Star Wars-themed. Look closer and you'll find that the shoes and apparel designs incorporate not just colors from Fett’s armor, but also Mandalorian symbols like the Mythosaur skull and text written in the Star Wars alphabet, Aurebesh.

The action-sports footwear and apparel company has unveiled five character-driven capsule collections from the original trilogy including Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and more! The new Star Wars | DC Shoes capsule collection centered around Boba Fett provides a subtle nod to the fan-favorite bounty hunter.
