Play ball with your Marvel heroes

LIKE superheroe­s, basketball players have their alter-egos. While Iron Man or Batman save the world in their armour suits, basketball players take pride in their uniforms, with each showing off their impressive individual skills, strength and power. This unique power, once assembled, will create an unstoppabl­e force of good.

And with the world watching, these heroes take on the court, placing their teams, their cities and their communitie­s on their backs.

Inspired by the Marvel Superheroe­s that captivate fans both in the comics and on the big screen, adidas joined forces with Marvel and iconised some of basketball’s mightiest heroes ― players who motivate fans and athletes both on and off the court.

The result is a footwear collection that pairs the unique ability of the American National Basketball Associatio­n (NBA) and the Women’s National Basketball Associatio­n (WNBA) star athletes, namely James Harden, Damian Lillard, Candace Parker, John Wall and Tracy McGrady, with the unmistakab­le flair of iconic comic characters of Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Captain America and Nick Fury.

The limited edition adidas Marvel Heroes Among Us comprises five new footwear with impressive designs.

The footwear collection is available at adidas Sports Performanc­e Suria KLCC and adidas Sports Performanc­e Pavilion KL as well as on www.adidas.com.my.

The footwear designs available: Marvel’s Iron Man |Harden Vol. 3 (RM700), Marvel’s Black Panther | Dame 5 (RM550) and Marvel’s Captain America |N3XT L3V3L (RM780).
