In the past year, the need for utility has been replaced by the need for comfort. Many have kept to the confines of their own homes, left with no need for the pockets, waterproof materials, and luggage once frequently donned. Today, though, things are gradually changing for the better; and with the outside now not as scary, Nike is responding appropriately with the return of the Air Presto Mid Utility.

To celebrate the model’s comeback, the brand has dressed its uppers in a colorway reminiscent of Boba Fett, the bounty hunter oft-admired throughout the original Star Wars trilogy. His faded, weathered armor is represented by way of the midsole and collar, the latter clad in a similarly protective ripstop material. Elsewhere, the toe bears a silver shade similar to the base layer of Fett’s chest piece, while the burnt red and yellow cages reference his belt and shoulder pads, respectively.

For a closer look at this colorway from a galaxy far, far away, see the official images below. A release is slated to hit Nike.com and select retailers soon.

In other news, the sacai Nike Blazer Low Iron Grey may be seeing an early August release.
