This week marks the release of a trio of limited edition
DC Super Hero Shoes, available at
Limited Soles courtesy of sneaker purveyor ACI International. The cost: $110 a pop, each shoes look copped from the chunky-soled styling of Nikes iconic Air Force 1 basketball shoe.
Respectively commemorating
Batman, the
Joker and
Superman, the collectors edition kicks are a vibrantly-hued, small batch affair youre not going to find at your local Foot Locker.
ACI International produced only 1,938 pairs of the Superman shoe (in homage to the year the Man of Steels debut issue was released), 1,939 of the Batman and 1,940 of the Jokers model - each individually numbered and encased in the kind of custom packaging that sneaker snobs make a primary talking point.
As well, each pair comes kitted-out with enough comic-specific details to make fanboys swoon: the words BRUCE and WAYNE on the heels of the Batman shoe, an embossed silhouette of Metropolis (with the obligatory Daily Planet logo) on the heel basket of the Kryptonian model and a purple caricature of the Joker on the tongue of the criminal clowns shoe.
