They keep trying to market any pair of yellow and black sneakers as being Game of Death related. Stop it.

Q4, preparation for Halloween has also officially kicked off for those that celebrate the costume-driven holiday. Even though the actual day doesn’t arrive for another four weeks, it’s never too early to start getting your ghoulish ‘fit together from head to toe. Thankfully, Nike just dropped a new colorway for the Air Darwin silhouette that automatically reminded us of a classic Bruce Lee flick that might just give you a little inspo before October 31st hits.

For those that’ve seen the classic 1978 film Game of Death, which suffered major production setbacks due to the untimely death of the film’s star a whole five years prior to its release, this shoe is hands-down a perfect tribute to the Kung Fu legend. Originally worn by Dennis Rodman back in the ’94-95 NBA season, the Air Darwin is back in this cool autumn-inspired hue that will look good before and after Mischief Night comes around. The “Dark Russet”/”Wheat Gold” colorway makes for the perfect combination, balanced out even further with black accents on the eyelets, midsole and side panel Swoosh logo.

Whether you’re channeling your inner Bruce Lee or just getting fly for fall, pick up the Nike Air Darwin “Wheat” right now for $130 USD at select retailers, including Finish line.

Editor’s Notes: Onitsuka Tiger, under the creative direction of designer Andrea Pompilio, showed its SS19 lineup in Tokyo recently. The highlight of the event, which showcased both apparel and footwear, was the Bruce Lee-inspired tracksuit mentioned above. In addition, we were given a great look at what’s to come from the Japanese brand. Check out imagery from the show above.

Highsnobiety’s Footwear Editor, Chris Danforth, had the chance to sit down with Onitsuka Tiger Creative Director Andrea Pompilio to discuss the new collection and more.

On his first memory of Onitsuka Tiger

I think the first memory is of Bruce Lee wearing that iconic tracksuit.

On the key themes of the SS19 collection

I think it’s a very unique collection. In this collection there is a melting pot of different cultures. There’s the Japanese because Onitsuka Tiger is one of the the biggest and strongest and oldest companies in sportswear. On the other side, there is a European mentality in the form of me bringing over all my experience, but especially my Italian or European taste. So these two things, they are melting pot to create a new world.

Well, we can add New Balance among the shoe companies hitching a ride on the Game of Death bandwagon. A pair of Mrt 580 New Balance sneakers with a Bruce Lee motif.

Jox yellow and black sneakers.

Notes: original "vintage 1970s/80s. Thy look similar to the famous Kill Bill Onitsuka Tiger shoes. These were owned by the famous sneaker designer Steven F. Smith."

What about these Wu Tang x Clarks shoes?

 

Sometimes you drive by a store, and the next day there is a 'For Lease' sign. It was just destined to be.

I wonder if there would be the same interest in BL G.O.D Shoes, had his character worn some brown sandals?.

They always try to align it with true success. A 'what if?'.

 

Are any trainers with a choice of black and yellow colours, now regarding as G.O.D shoes?.

 

Poor Chinese workers and their familys, from young to old, work in sweatshops and rotten conditions, for a very small wage, just so millionaire baskball players, can get big money endorsements, from the vary large corporations, who exploit Asian workers. I wonder if any Pro-sports players, have considered giveing some of their wealth, to the poor people, who make their clothing, and help them get rich of sponsoships?.

Well, the evils of capitalism and unfortunately, Bruce Lee was a capitalist.

 

He did have a lot of that in him, but at the same time, he was trying to help the guys who made him look like a star. He would fight for better pay and conditions for the stuntmen, and eat with them. Very much doubt anyone associated with Niket etc, have done that with their low paid work-forces. When he heard about a stuntman, getting hurt on a film in Macua, BL paid for his medical bills. Something the production company, producidng the fil he urt himself on, wouldnt cough up at all.
