Is This Real Life?
Snoop Dogg Launches New Adidas Originals
By Shaun Hatton - February 7th, 2010
Although I am a huge Star Wars nerd, I don’t always spend a lot of time on its official site. But I should! As far as official sites go, Star Wars is doing everything right. In addition to its neat features and distracting soundboards, I just lost about an hour of my life to its online shop and loved every second of it.
So what’s this all about? Why is Snoop Dogg hanging out with Stormtroopers? Is he a Snoop Trooper? You bet he is! He’s also launching the new Adidas line of Star Wars apparel, which is just awesome. The video is completely surreal, even though there isn’t much to it.
I’ve often lamented the fact that cool Star Wars shoes only come in kids’ sizes – but not any more! In case you’re wondering about just how nerdy these new kicks are, much of the Adidas footwear is actually very subtly done, like these Rebel Pilot/Luke Skywalker sneakers.
Will I be getting those?

The “Skywalker” shoes are 130$ which I will admit is more then I usually spend on shoes like 110$ more, But damn are they awesome looking… kinda want a pair right now!
Very unique/wild cross promotion. Noticed their shop has Darth Vader toasters that burns Vader’s face unto bread!
Yeah the shop is all kinds of crazy. Don’t make me go back there. My bank account can’t take it anymore.
