The line between athlete and superhero is often thinner than a strand of wrist-shot webbing – case in point, Chris Coghlan's legendary 2017 . But while Coghlan displayed the Man of Steel’s aerial grace, it's an even more agile crime-fighter who's now taking to the diamond, in the form of adidas' freshly released Spider-Man Adizero Edge+ TPU baseball cleats.
New York City's beloved hero is repped top to bottom on this build, with blood red dousing the upper, a black webbed overlay, and blue coming in on the laces and rear midsole. Black hits the sockliner and spider-stamped tab at the heel, while the outsole shimmers with icy iridescence.
The Edge+ first made ripples mid-last year, arriving as the most tech-fuelled baseball shoe adidas had ever crafted. They're kept ultra-lightweight thanks to Lightstrike Pro cushioning, and the synthetic synthetic outsole's cleats provide exceptional traction and stability for bashing that ball as high as NYC's tallest scrapers.
The Marvel x Spider-Man x adidas Adizero Edge+ TPU cleats are available now via adidas' channels.
