Dark Side
“Don’t lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire.”
- Anakin Skywalker, Revenge of the Sith
The Skywalker that started it all, Anakin is a tortured soul struggling between two opposing sides: the Jedi and the Sith. These top-down socks encapsulate the power of the Dark Side. The black of the iconic Darth Vader is used to create not only the heels and toes, but also a tiny fleet of starships in easy-to-work slipped-stitches around the leg. The unique lines of structured ribbing signify strength and order. The resulting footwear is as unique, iconic, and powerful as Lord Vader himself.
