Snoop Dogg Likes Storm Troopers, Adidas Luke Skywalker Shoes

Snoop Dogg's done some pretty hilarious and over-the-top promotional things in his life (making brownies with Martha Stewart, for instance), but we never would have pegged him for something like this.

Snoop was recently on hand to help launch Adidas' new Star Wars shoes. Yes, seriously, Star Wars shoes. What's even better is there's a video floating around of him surrounded by Storm Troopers and standing next to Darth Vader. You can see it here.

Adidas just launched a series of Luke Skywalker shoes, which feature patterns Luke's orange, white, black and grey Star Wars X-Wing jumpsuit. Unsurprisingly, they're already sold out, but they were going for around $100 U.S. (about $107 Canadian) through the Adidas webstore.

But that's not the only thing Snoop did with the Adidas folks to celebrate the new Skywalker shoes. He recently accompanied Vader and Storm Troopers through New York City on a march to promote the shoes. Here's a video of that, complete with very confused and shocked New Yorkers:

But that's not all. There's also a commercial for the Star Wars series kicking around, which features Snoop, David Beckham and Daft Punk shilling the shoes:

The only thing more amazing than this would have been if they dressed Snoop up in the Vader costume.

Snoop Dogg's new studio album, Malice N Wonderland, came out in December.
