Author: Mark Haddon | Tuesday 10th December 2024
Columbia Sportswear has officially launched its largest Star Wars™-inspired collection to date with the Vader™ Collection, a special-edition collaboration with Lucasfilm. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Star Wars villain, Darth Vader, this collection combines the dark, powerful aesthetics of the Sith Lord with Columbia's renowned performance gear. Fans can now showcase their allegiance to the dark side with a stylish, streetwear-inspired collection designed for both functionality and fandom.
The collection features a range of weather-resistant outerwear, sportswear, footwear, and accessories, with a focus on technical layers and Darth Vader-themed design elements. The color palette emphasizes matte and shine finishes, mirroring Vader’s iconic look. Intricate details include secret messages in Aurebesh (the Star Wars galaxy's written language) and lightsaber™ zipper pulls.
Notable items in the Vader™ Collection include:
Vader™ 3L Interchange Jacket (£720): This 3-in-1 jacket is built to handle extreme conditions with its durable waterproof-breathable shell and inner down layer. It features a red and black Omni-Heat™ Infinity lining, Vader-inspired graphic prints, and a construction inspired by his armor and helmet.
Vader™ Parka (£360): A stylish parka offering weather protection with Omni-Tech™ waterproof-breathable material, custom Omni-Heat™ Infinity lining, and Star Wars-specific details like lightsaber™ zipper pulls and an Aurebesh message.
Vader™ Crossbody Bag (£65): A versatile, Darth Vader-inspired crossbody bag designed for everyday use. Features include an adjustable strap, multifunctional storage, and a zip-off front pocket with a Vader chest plate woven patch.
The highly anticipated Vader™ Collection is out now, available exclusively on Columbia’s website. Given the history of previous Star Wars collaborations selling out quickly, fans are encouraged to act fast to secure their favorite pieces. The collection is available in unisex sizes (Men's XS-XXL) and select youth sizes (XXS-XL).
