The highly anticipated female-led superhero movie “Captain Marvel” releases in theaters on Friday. And now, so will a shoe inspired by the film.
Jen Bartel, a comic book artist who does work for Marvel, helped design the sneaker and shared the news on her Twitter account yesterday, writing “#JenBartelxAdidas #HigherFurtherFaster #CaptainMarvel.”
The tweet was accompanied by star and shoe emojis and a graphic of Captain Marvel herself with Adidas and Foot Locker’s logos.
