The Star Wars collection.

Adidas recently bought out a new Star Wars themed range. Now ordinarily if someone told me that I wouldn't be bothered. I don't care for Star Wars and I'm one of those people who would usually call it 'geeky'. But Adidas have managed to give a new twist to something I never would have bought into.

Each item in the range is based on a vehicle, character or scene which is incorporated into the design. My favorite of the one of four featured is the Forum Mid At-At, which I'm told means All Terrain Armoured Transport. But I think they're cool all the same. I love how they've made them look fresh but a bit old school.

Next we have an appearance from the evolution of the Superstar previously mentioned. This one's called Superstar II Star Wars, I like the way the logo is simply printed as a background and not pasted all over like a tacky bit of memorabilia.

Shell toes have always been a favorite of mine, to me they are everything that started my passion. In 1969 the Superstar was introduced as the first low top basketball shoe, and it stays as one of the most iconic designs in history. This particular pair of shell toes have a Stormtroopers theme, who I've found out are soldiers from the Imperial Army.

Next up is the Stormskate Mid Stormtrooper, which are a great variation on the Adidas Mid show. The colours contrast really well and I like the understated trademark stripes on the side. Even for someone who's not into star wars I would definitely own a few pairs of the sneaks on this list, purely because they're a bit different to what you'd find usually up for grabs!

Finally we have The Skywalker version. It comes in bright orange with old school padded ankles and contrasting white. This style is reminiscent of a few old Adidas styles, I think that's why I like it so much. It's a re-vamped shoe that's been injected with some sci-fi geeky-ness, but somehow that works. The outcome... a modernly-classic shoe that looks like it might be worn by a boy in a comic book.

Adidas Originals Jeremy Scott sneaks.

These beauties are from the Adidas Originals Jeremy Scott range.

My boyfriend discovered them on the Adidas facebook page at the weekend. After a little research I found out they were actually released sometime in 2009, but due to popularity they decided to relaunch the range, happy days!

However after doing a little more research I'm horrified to tell you that Jedward have actually have worn the silver version! But don't let that put you off because Kanye West among others have been seen kicking these sneaks too!

But it does look like you need to be well funded to be able to own a pair, prices start at a whopping £119.99 and go up to somewhere in the region of £200! Not only are they expensive, but they're limited edition too, so not only do you have to be rich to nab a pair, you have to be speedy too!

Story of my first sneaks...

It all started when I was about 11, I was just starting secondary school. My mum took me to buy a pair of trainers for P.E, what I didn't know then was how a pair of footwear could start what is now a blazing obsession for shoes.

The minute I saw the Adidas Superstar shell toes which would later be in my possession, I knew I wanted them. This particular pair of sneaks are recognised worldwide and I loved them. They revolutionised the way I thought about shoes.

My mum always told me that you can tell a lot a

bout someone from their shoes; how well off they are, how well they look after them, and of course a persons style will often be shown through their footwear.

For me my trainers have always been a symbol for what I'm about. When I started year 7 in a big scary place that seemed so alien, my superstars were a comfort blanket, so much so that I continually got into trouble for wearing them!

School uniform was always a problem for me, I just didn't see the point in conforming. As far as i could see, I was an individual, with individual style and I wanted to express myself! I think this may be where my passion for trainers was inflamed.

When I buy a pair of shoes now my choice of sneaks can be somewhat eclectic, I love designs that are a bit different and materials that scream colour and fun. There's no single style or brand I favour because it's the style, form and design that I buy into not the label. They simply must be comfortable and beautiful!
