Ahead of the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Christian Louboutin unveiled a luxurious four-piece Star Wars shoe collection that includes heels inspired by iconic women from the fictional universe. The upscale, wearable designs pay homage Rey, Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, Captain Phasma and Rose Tico with fitting styles to represent each character.
These shoes will be auctioned off with proceeds going to the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Additionally, at the Los Angeles premiere of The Last Jedi, a special sci-fi showpiece shoe will be unveiled as part of a holographic display.
With the release of the newest Star Wars movies, as well as many other new live-action films that feature nostalgic content for Millennials, a number of brands are offering high-end collectibles for the grown-up consumer that are a step up from the toys they once collected from franchises in their youth.
