The Star Wars and adidas Originals campaign has been a prominent fixture over the last few weeks representing two strong brands in the respective world of cinematography and sports. To help cap off a successful footwear-centric capsule, we’ve seen a number of city tours that have involved the iconic Star Wars antagonist, Darth Vader and an army of Storm Troopers. Just yesterday, the Dark Lord of the Sith took over the streets of New York alongside none other than Snoop Dogg. In this hypebeast.tv episode, we take a look into the the sights and sounds as well as hearing Snoop’s insights and upcoming projects.

I’m proud to say that this is the first of many productions I’ll be introducing under the banner of my new home, Three/21 Films. The concept for this Adidas Original spot was spawned from the understanding that Hip Hop will never die. From Hip Hop’s birth in the late seventies to now, the game, energy and freedom of expression remains the same. Kids always come up with new ways to express themselves. There’s a YouTube movement where kids video tape themselves dancing or better yet “Get’n Lite”. They then post those clips on YouTube and watch the number of view hits rise. In my opinion, Adidas Original and the dance expression by Hip Hop’s youth go hand and hand. This spot, I hope, reflects that.
