Adidas Star Wars on Street Corner

Adidas Originals has partnered with the Star Wars franchise to produce a collection of sneakers and apparel inspired by the six part film series. From a galaxy far, far away to a street corner near you, the campaign is being launched with a Facebook/related Death Star application, a series of local launch parties, and a 60 second commercial featuring Darth Vader and well known Adidas ambassadors. The Adidas Originals Facebook site features a collection of sneakers and apparel inspired by the film series.

The Death Star application connects with imagery and geographical location from the user’s Facebook profile to produce a startling experience of the alliance between Adidas and the Empire. The Death Star, under the comand of Lord Vader, has arrived at Earth to deliver a message.

In the 60 second commercial Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers are greeted by Adidas ambassadors Snoop Dogg, David Beckham, Calle 13, DJ Neil Armstrong and Daft Punk. The video is public on Youtube, Facebook.com/adidasoriginals, and adidas.com today.
