Star Wars has been a popular theme on sneakers for a very long time. We even showed you the History of Star Wars Sneakers on the unofficial Star Wars Day (May 4th). Adidas looks to add to the aforementioned list by introducing an Originals Star Wars Collection.

This particular Stars Wars inspired collection is slightly different from the rest in that the sneakers are inspired by specific characters and/or scenes in the movie. Adidas chose to use some of its classic Originals models and also incorporated apparel in this collection. Look for this collection to hit select retailers in January 2010. Until then, click here to view a preview of this release.

Following up on the Def Jam x adidas pack are these Stan Smiths, which have been designed to pay tribute to Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan. You might remember that pair of black Superstars done for “Tony Starks,” one of Ghostface’s many aliases, but these give tribute to the “Pretty Toney” era Ghostface.

These Stan Smiths use a grey suede upper and sit on a bright base. His “G” logo is imprinted near the heel on the upper, and yellow is used for the outsole and liner, while red is the dominant color on the midsole, heel, and tongue accent. If you want to grab a pair, these are available at select retailers now.

We saw a striped adidas Superstar not too long ago, and the reception was less than warm. And keeping the lok going is this next pair. adidas may be known as the brand with 3 stripes, but these Top Ten Hi’s are multiplying that number many times over. To celebrate “60 Years of Soles and Stripes,” this sneaker is representing with an all-over striped print with multiple colors.

The majority of this one is done with grey and white alternating stripes, while blue is used for the stripes on the traditional 3-stripes design and around the ankle. A blue outsole is used under a white midsole to match up those sections. A panel of red striped material is used to wrap around the heel for accent. A gold 60 years and leaf label is used on the tongue to further celebrate the anniversary.

One time Naismith College Player of the Year TJ Ford has been quite a journeyman since entering the NBA. Having beat a near career-ending spinal cord injury, Ford is very deserving of a PE, to say the least. We got a look at these adidas TS Cut Creators in action during Kicks On Court on Halloween, and now we have an even better look at them.

We actually see details on two different Pacers colorways perched in Ford’s locker. As you can see, both pairs feature white patent leather on the toe cap and white leather uppers. One pair features a yellow outsole and yellow stripes over a navy midsole and ankle accent piece. The second pair works in reverse, as the tongue and other parts appear in yellow. How do these compare to some of the other TS Cut Creator PEs we’ve seen?

adidas has really stepped their collaboration status up lately, working with industry-leading retailers like Bodega and Undefeated on recent packs. Next up is the Five-Two 3 City Artist Pack, which pairs the footwear company with five artists from five major international art hotbeds.

London’s Pochoir worked on a Superstar, making the heel area appear like a worn-down brick wall. From Italy, photographer Fakso went to work on the Nizza High, dressing it in black accents on yellow tone photo. French influence is seen in the gold Flor De Lis that appear over blue nubuck on the KRSN x Stan Smith 80. Japanese-influenced New York transplant Dalek dressed a Forum Mid with his Space Monkey character and multiple shades of grey on a black leather base. The fifth and final shoe in the pack is an adidas Samba designed by MADSAKI, who is based out of Tokyo. The wildest of the bunch, MADSAKI concepted a flap over the laces, changing the original Samba silhouette drastically.

It should be no surprise that Marcus Jordan chooses to wear Air Jordan shoes on court. The shoes hold sentimental value to Marcus, as he grew up watching his father play in Air Jordans. Besides the obvious family connection, Marcus wore Air Jordans en route to winning a State Championship in high school, and probably has more pairs of Air Jordans than executives at Jordan Brand - a subsidiary of Nike formed in 1996.

adidas continues to roll out the Consortium and Originals collaborations and limited edition releases. With this Originals Rod Laver, Canada’s Goodfoot (GDFT) had a go at the low top design, dressing it up in grey and even designing a matching Varsity jacket to dress you up.

From the get-go, you can tell these are very similar to the Clae Russell “Wool”. The uppers mix in dark grey wool with a mix of accents in light grey leather, which is also used for the liner. Details include a custom insole reading “The brand with the three stripes, eh!,” paying homage to the Canadian roots of GDFT. If you recall, we got a small sneak peek of these not too long ago as a part of the adidas Consortium Rod Laver Collection, pt. 2. These are available through Goodfoot now.

Do these adidas live up to expectations? Head to the comments section and weigh in.
