Insomniac has partnered with Adidas to produce a range of merchandise inspired by Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The shoes, resembling a symbiote bond, flew off the shelves in record time, followed by a matching hoodie that garnered significant attention. If you missed out on those, fear not—these new trainers could be the perfect Spidey accessory for you. Not only are they inspired by Spider-Man 2, but they’re also the first in-game item from the collection.
Modeled after the shoes worn by Miles Morales in a suit unlocked towards the game’s climax, Adidas’s Ultra 4D Mid-Evolved Shoes are now available for purchase through the links provided below. However, to embody the spirit of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, be prepared to invest a significant sum. Priced at $229.99, these shoes sport a vibrant combination of red, white, and electric blue, complete with venomous electricity accents on the front—symbolizing the unique power that distinguishes Miles from Peter Parker.
Spider-Swag Insights: From Suits to Sneakers
For the eagle-eyed Spidey aficionados among us who’ve been keeping a keen watch on game-related merchandise, it’s evident that these shoes are none other than the ones Miles dons after donning the notorious suit that has sparked mixed reactions. The release of these sneakers appears to solidify the notion that the suit was indeed a calculated marketing move. Adidas has already rolled out a matching top and leggings to complement the suit, allowing fans to complete the ensemble for just a tad over $300. What a steal!
While the consensus leans towards disfavoring the suit Miles wears towards the game’s finale, I must confess a soft spot for these sneakers. In fact, I find them far more appealing than the symbiote-infused ones, which flew off the shelves in a flash. So, despite being associated with a suit that hasn’t quite won everyone over, I’m fairly confident these kicks will enjoy a swift sell-out as well.
Whether you decide to indulge in Adidas’s Spider-Man merchandise or not, it’s almost a certainty that we’ll be treated to more from Insomniac’s Spider-Verse. No spoilers here—I’m still navigating through the game myself—but the studio has already confirmed that their upcoming Wolverine installment shares the same universe as their Spider-Man titles. Moreover, there’s ample speculation hinting at the presence of Daredevil somewhere in Insomniac’s New York City. Perhaps we’ll witness his debut in some Spidey 2 DLC.
