With the highly anticipated global premiere of Wakanda Forever on the horizon, Marvel has teamed up with adidas as part of its promotional campaign to release a full Black Panther-themed collection.
Included in the collaboration are a pair of incredible Ultra 4D shoes modelled on the Vibranium-made Panther suit worn in the first film, using one of the best running shoes around as the base.
However, this isn't the first time the superhero franchise has partnered with adidas. Back in 2019, Marvel previously dropped a full "Heroes Among Us" pack with adidas which featured the popular Captain America N3XT L3V3L high-tops.
This time around though, the two brands are launching a collection designed for just one film - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Here's everything we know about the latest Ultra 4Ds so far...
Marvel Black Panther x adidas Ultra 4D Release Date
The sneakers are currently available at the adidas store as of 30 September 2022 if you're an adiClub member. Membership is free, so we'd recommend signing up if you can't wait to get your hands on a pair.
The majority of the Black Panther collection is also out now as of 30 September, although some items aren't scheduled to launch until 7 October. Therefore, we'd recommend keeping this in mind if you're looking to complete the set.
With the release date confirmed, let's take a look at how the Black Pather 4Ds look...
Marvel Black Panther x adidas Ultra 4D Design
As touched on, the Black Panther Ultra 4Ds are styled like the Black Panther suit worn by the late Chadwick Boseman's character T'Challa.
As a result, the uppers are dressed in black but feature metallic gold stripes down the sides as a nod to T'Challa's regal status in Wakanda.
The shoes also feature a deep purple tone knitted into the Primeknit uppers, which are made from 50% recycled content, to match the outsoles and interior lining in reference to the suit's appearance once it's charged with kinetic energy.
You'll also find the toe boxes are adorned with four black spikes to mirror the Black Panther necklace that stores the suit when not in use.
adidas' final Black Panther reference can be found on the shoebox. The special edition packaging features the same Tribe Purple and metallic gold tones as the shoes, complete with Wakandan lettering and tribal details along the sides.
Marvel Black Panther x adidas Ultra 4D Price
The official listing for the sneakers confirms the retail price as $220 for an adult pair.
It doesn't appear as though smaller and subsequently cheaper kids sizes will be made available based on the listing, although this could change in the future. We'll make sure to keep this article updated with the latest price updates right here.
