    A little too Buck Rogers, perhaps? Not that I disagree, but it seems more to separate and make their existence less plausible and more fantastical.

      Maybe they stole them from another wardrobe, and had to give them back? I think it made sense for that timeline. Like something to make it easy for Starfleet officers to find each other on the battlefield if it’s dark or there’s lots of smoke.

      The oversized and completely pointless delta shields feels much more like something that belongs in the current run of Star Trek shows. That you only ever see it in a darker alternate timeline makes their inclusion somewhat prescient.

        For battlefield practicality, it makes sense. As for the blatancy of the brand, it definitely tracks with Lower Decks.

        Can’t say I wouldn’t want a pair.

          Those at least look marketable (to these 21st century eyes).

          Much better than the moon shoes from season 1 of Discovery.
