In celebration of the highly anticipated film 'Avengers: Endgame' releasing last week, adidas introduces new iterations of AM4 sneakers themed around some iconic characters from the film. Comic artist Jen Bartel creates custom colorways of the model through the SPEEDFACTORY.
The two tonal options celebrate 'Captain Marvel' and 'Thanos.' The Captain Marvel iteration features a galactic blue color throughout the uppers accented with the branded three stripes in gold to recall her star motif. The Thanos option features a bright purple color serving as the base throughout the uppers and has small details on the sides recalling the colorful infinity stones. The uppers of both the AM4 sneakers are constructed from textile knit and sits atop a responsive Boost foam cushion.
