Designer Patso Dimitrov created these immaculate renderings of hybrid sneakers that combine elements of NBA teams with superhero characteristics. Each image focuses on a specific player's team and a comic book character that feature similar attributes.
The artist uses characters from both the Marvel and DC comic book worlds. Additionally, NBA players such as Lerbon James, Kobe Bryant and John Wall are depicted on the recreated hybrid sneakers.
For example, Lebron James from Cleveland Cavaliers is paired up with Iron Man. Both the player and the superhero are associated with the colors yellow and red, which is why Patso Dimitrov designed a red and yellow Nike high-top basketball shoe. This art series highlights the united collaboration between athletic all-stars and superheros. While these shoes are merely an artistic project, their styles neatly combine sporty and comic-themed details.
