Awhile back I wrote up a collaboration between Dwight Howard, Adidas, and Warner Bros. to release a line of Superman-themed athletic equipment. The Dwight Howard Superman Adidas is the first piece from that collection and it looks harder than the man of steel himself.
Yeah, I went there. The Dwight Howard Superman Adidas is decked out in Superman colors from head to toe. The tongue has the iconic 'S' on it, and the heel has 'Fortress of Solitude' written on it. There are tons of pictures in the gallery above to drool over. Let the wanting commence.
