If there's one thing the early Phase 4 projects have in common, it's that they've concentrated on some of Marvel's biggest characters who haven't yet had their moment in the spotlight. While big-name heroes like Spider-Man and Thor continue to make their imprint on the MCU, Phase 4 has allowed characters like Loki and Black Widow to branch out on their own. Characters are the true winners these days, and two of the most popular shoe labels have come up with ingenious ways to pay homage to some of the MCU's most beloved heroes.
Nike and Adidas (through The Sole Supplier) have collaborated on a series of innovative sneaker designs based on Marvel characters. While the sneakers are not for sale, the concept art takes some classic shoes and reimagines them with a Marvel-style twist. The first is a new pair of Air Jordan 1s called "The Spiderverse," which features Spider-signature Man's red and blue color scheme. The incorporation of the names "Holland," "Maguire," and "Garfield" in the webbing will delight fans. Following that, Tom Hiddleston's Loki was given a pair of green Adidas Forums, while Ant-Man was given a pair of red Air Jordan 1s. Finally, there are "the Romanovs," or a pair of Nike Dunks inspired by the Black Widow. Take a look at them below.

Scarlett Johansson has given her seal of approval to these Dunks. The black base shoe is made up of suede and leather textures that match the outfit perfectly. The addition of red laces and gold groove heel design completes the look, resulting in a shoe that could only be described as superhuman.#2 “The Langs” – Antman x Air Jordan 1s

These Jordan 1s are inspired by Antman and are available in both human and ant sizes (naturally). Unfortunately, you can only shrink your feet while wearing them. On a shoe that is mostly in sleek black and red tones, subtle white stitching adds energy to the Nike Swoosh.#3 “The Lokis” – Loki x Adidas Forums

Adidas Forums that aren't quite as well-behaved as their older brother, but are still good on the inside. The shoe features a spectrum of different hues of green textures and gold finishing, and is inspired by Loki's cloak and sass in equal proportion. The outline pattern on the hook-and-loop tab seals the superhero deal.#4 “The Spiderverse” – Spiderman x Air Jordan 1s

With a red exterior, tongue and collar, and blue toe and Swoosh details, this color palette screams Spiderman. The cobweb design on the shoe's side refers to the names of the actors. PLEASE NOTE: You will not be able to climb walls with these Jordan 1s!
