Doctor Doom Lands on the adidas Stan Smith
Could he be making his MCU debut soon?
When considering adidas’ most notable collaborators, Kanye West tends to be one of the first names that come to mind. However, mass media and entertainment company Disney dwarves most of its peers in outreach. As key franchises such as Star Wars and Marvel have been utilized on adidas silhouettes annually, ranging between subtle references to all-out thematic looks. Now, in continuation of its partnership, Disney’s Marvel universe has connected with the Three Stripes once again, this time bringing Doctor Doom to the Stan Smith.
While Doctor Doom hasn’t officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he lands on the adidas Stan Smith in a colorway similar to the shoe’s original white and green colorway. An off-white leather upper carries silver “DR. DOOM” text on the midfoot of the lateral while a matching silver portrait of Doom hits the left shoe’s tongue. The sneaker also fits into adidas’ Primegreen category with the upper featuring at least 50% recycled content, referenced on the heel with “it’s not easy being green” text.
adidas has yet to share an official release date for the Disney x Marvel x adidas Stan Smith “Doctor Doom.” Look for it to hit shelves in the coming months via the Three Stripes and select retailers at an expected price of $130 USD.
Elsewhere in the world of footwear, yet another slip-on footwear option is coming from adidas with the adidas Originals Puffylette, reminiscent of padded jackets.
