The adidas Stan Smith has been a cultural icon for decades, but its latest iteration takes inspiration from a galaxy far, far away. In collaboration with the beloved Star Wars franchise, adidas has unveiled the “Stormtrooper” Stan Smith, a sneaker that seamlessly blends the timeless silhouette with the iconic imagery of the galactic empire’s elite soldiers.
This exciting release is the latest in a long line of adidas x Star Wars collaborations that have consistently delivered fresh and creative takes on classic sneaker designs. The Stan Smith “Stormtrooper” is no exception, offering a sleek and stylish tribute to one of the most recognizable characters in the Star Wars universe.
The sneaker’s design is a testament to the attention to detail and creativity that goes into every adidas x Star Wars collaboration. The upper is made of glossy white leather that perfectly mimics the shiny stormtrooper armor. The heel features an embossed Stormtrooper icon, reimagined in the distinctive rounded cartoon style of artist James Jarvis, who was commissioned by Tokyo-based art gallery NANZUKA for this special design.
One of the most striking elements of the Stan Smith “Stormtrooper” is the inclusion of alternate “Blast Them” laces. These laces allow wearers to add a touch of personality and flair to their sneaker while paying homage to the Stormtrooper’s iconic catchphrase. It’s a small but significant detail that sets this collaboration apart from other sneaker releases.
The adidas Stan Smith “Stormtrooper” also features a number of other subtle nods to the Star Wars franchise. The tongue alternates between Star Wars and adidas branding, while the special edition box features similar collaborative stamps. These details serve to further cement the sneaker’s place within the larger Star Wars x adidas collection.
