The galaxy far, far away has once again joined forces with the Three Stripes as adidas and Star Wars team up to create a new iteration of the iconic adidas Stan Smith silhouette. The “Stormtrooper” edition is the latest installment in their long-standing partnership, and it’s a true masterpiece. Tokyo-based art gallery NANZUKA, a frequent adidas collaborator, teamed up with renowned artist James Jarvis to create a design that perfectly captures the essence of the Star Wars universe.

The upper is covered in glossy leather, evoking the bright white armor of the Empire’s iconic stormtroopers. The heel features an embossed Stormtrooper icon, reimagined in Jarvis’ signature rounded cartoon style. The result is a design that is both nostalgic and fresh, paying homage to the beloved franchise while offering a unique twist.

But what really sets this pair apart is its versatility. The “Blast Them” laces allow wearers to add a touch of personality to their outfits, making the shoe suitable for a wide range of occasions. The tongues alternate between Star Wars and adidas branding, adding a pop of color and visual interest. The special edition box with collaborative stamps is the perfect finishing touch.
