Sole Junkie posted these custom Nike Blazers at his Customsnkr.com blog linked here. The designer took the Imperial Stormtrooper image from the Star Wars franchise as inspiration for his sneaker art.

These Blazers started out all white but ended up looking like the black/white uniforms worn by the Emperor’s troops. Sole Junkie painted the swoosh and heel black before adding the stormtrooper helmet below the collar.

My least favorite part of the Stormtrooper Nike Blazers was the black/white striping just above the outsole near the toe. This little touch caught my eye right away, taking my view away from the great work Sole Junkie did on the rest of the shoe.

I am nitpicking, of course, because the remainder of the designer’s efforts is awesome. Sole Junkie kept a majority of the white colorway to recreate the stormtrooper’s uniform while putting the helmet near the top or head of the shoe. His detailed work and deliberate design choices make for a great homage to one of my favorite movie franchises.
