Converse is helping DC Comics celebrate its 75th anniversary with the Chuck Taylor All Star 'The Riddler' sneakers, which pay homage to one of Batman's iconic villains.
The Chuck Taylor All Star 'The Riddler' sneakers have the villain's personality written all over. The high-tops have a green upper that matches the character's outfit and a purple trim, which is a nod to the color of his mask. Around the side is the question mark insignia that has been The Riddler's calling card since he was first created. Additional details include gold eyelets, white vulcanized soles and the option of green or black laces.
With The Riddler getting his own signature shoe, I hope Joker, Two-Face or Bane will soon get their own sneakers soon.
