Matt Varga The upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine is a major moment on a few different fronts; it’s a huge hinge point for the MCU at large, and pays off comic fans with a massive link-up between two forever-favorite characters. Recognizing that significance, adidas is uniting with Marvel once again, bringing the comic icons their own kicks alongside some throwback apparel.
Both anti-heros earn colorways of the adidas Rivalry Low, a spotlight model out of Germany so far this year. For Deadpool’s edition, plush, overwhelmingly rosy suede is accented by black detailing throughout. Speckled paint on the midsole nods to his penchant for the gory, while a leather pouch add-on hits on his (perhaps overly) function-minded uniform.
As for Wolverine, German designers would’ve been crazy to move away from the iconic color scheme of yellow, black & blue, so widely celebrated ahead of its silver screen debut. The X-men logo appears at the tongue, while his Adamantium clays poke through the Three Stripes branding on the side.
Importantly, Wade Wilson nabs one additional piece of footwear, the adidas adiZero Electric, continuing the motifs present on the lifestyle shoe for use on the pitch. It’s possible Wolverine will earn a second style in due time though- the final piece of this capsule is “an adidas Originals silhouette worn in the film which will be unveiled July 26.”
Alongside the full range of footwear, there’s also a set of graphic tees set to launch simultaneously. Bearing co-branded adidas/Marvel stamps, each continue the comic-heavy themes of the capsule in sum.
The “Deadpool & Wolverine” collection lands on August 1st, distributed via the adidas app, site, in-store locations and via select retailers. At the time of writing, retail pricing hasn’t emerged, but keep this page and our Sneaker Release Dates hub handy for the most current info as it lands.
