adidas works in collaboration with Marvel on the latest iteration of the signature Ultra 4D sneaker model, detailed with a Wakanda Forever colorway palette. The shoes honor Black Panther this time around and the superhero's armor inspires the color palette.
It started with black Primeknit materials at the base foundation of the upper and paired with purple accents throughout which can be seen in the trimmings. Spikes detail the toe box, which is a direct reference to the armor's collar by the patterned black cage. Gold tones are seen detailing the cage's Three Stripes branding and the heel cage is finished in a muted grey with Ultra 4D branding. Rounding out the shoe is a black midsole and purple rubber outsole.
