 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.

In protest to the recent anti-mural moratorium issued by the city of Los Angeles, street artist Saber enlists sky writing planes to write his his name, along with those of other prominent street artists. The ordinance, intended to curb the proliferation of commercial signage in the Los Angeles area, apparently prohibits creating large scale murals, even with the property owner’s permission. According the Venice Arts Council:
Murals Continue to be Outlawed by Newly Proposed Sign Ordinance in City of L.A.
The City of Los Angeles Planning Department has proposed a new sign ordinance. This ordinance is meant to address the unwanted proliferations of signs in the City of Los Angeles, but it has dramatic effects on murals. The proposed ordinance severely limits the size, scope and placement of murals of any kind. There is currently a moratorium against any signs or murals being erected on private property in the City of Los Angeles. In fact, murals on private property in the City of LA have been banned since June of 2007. The Planning Department believes murals have actually been outlawed since the year 2002. If this proposal passes as presented, it will severely limit any type of mural work on private property for many years to come.
Saber’s petition in the sky has already been acknowledged by the likes of Shepard Fairey who tweeted today “If you are in Los Angeles right meow, Look up!”
