To celebrate the Black Panther movie release, Shoe company Clarks Originals teamed up with Marvel to create a pair of Black Panther sneakers. These limited-edition shoes are inspired by The King of Wakanda, a main character in the movie.
Created on the base of the brand's classic Trigenic Evo shoe, the material is a matte, all-black, full grain premium leather. This new shoe is branded with Marvel x Clarks Originals in a silver print and a rubberized Black Panther icon on the heel. A limited-edition collector's box, that features a matte black exterior and a silver Black Panther character on the lip, comes with purchase. These flexible sneakers are available in both men's and women's sizes and are perfect for the gym or day-to-day wear.
The new Black Panther sneakers are available online now, just in time for the highly anticipated movie release.
