Earlier this week, eBay Seller “Freehand Profit” sold this one of kind Adidas Storm Trooper helmet at auction. The item description reads:

A few weeks back my homie Noah Scalin, creator of Skull A Day, approached me to work on a new project called “Star Wars Remix”. 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.

This piece was created as an art piece but can also be worn. Great way to stand out at a convention or a great one-of-a-kind cherry on a great Star Wars collection. Made using 2 pairs of authentic Adidas X Star Wars Superskate Mids and 1 EFX Studio Stormtrooper prop replica.

The item sold for $2125. More images after the jump.
