Stormtrooper helmet sculpted out of sneakers

Noah sez, "Freehand Profit, the guy behind the fantastic MASK365 project, has created an incredible new piece for Star Wars Remix: a wearable Stormtrooper helmet made out of 2 pairs of Adidas sneakers!"

StarWarsRemix.com launched August 30th with an entry from Noah himself, make sure you check out his Aspirin Stormtroopers. Since then they’ve continued the creative flow with blasters set to kill, even Charlton from Burger 365 came up with the Twist TIE Fighter. In the spirit of the numerous sneaker gas masks from the Branding Wars/MASK365 I chose to create a stormtrooper helmet made from the exclusive Adidas X Star Wars Superskate Mids. This was the first piece that required more than one pair of shoes to create and it gave me hell. I pushed through and couldn’t be happier with the result. The best part about it is it’s being sold on eBay right now.

Star Wars X Adidas X Freehand Profit – SneakerTrooper Helmet (Thanks, Noah!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Possibly inspired by Brian Jungen’s Alaskan Native Masks created from Air Jordans? http://www.nmai.si.edu/exhibitions/jungen/works.html

  A direct inspiration I’d say.

So many tweaks to that helmet design over the years, hard to know what is canon and what is artistic license. Pretty sure Darth Vader wouldn’t have allowed sponsorship badges on his troops. Bad PR for Adidas to be associated with blowing up planets and other massacres.

Thanks for posting and showing love everyone. I was recommended Brian Jungen’s work about 3 sneaker gas masks in upon the release of the Air Jordan Gas Mask, since then his work has been an inspiration.
