The Batman x air up Collab Shares Exclusive Scent-Flavored Pods

— June 6, 2025 — Lifestyle
air up, the brand encouraging healthy hydration with Scentaste technology, launched a Batman x air up collab that introduces a trio of exclusive flavors, stickers and a detachable cape for its leak-proof, one-hand flip-top water bottle.

Rather than relying on sugar, sweeteners or additives to enhance the experience of water, air up uses scent to flavor water because most perception of flavor actually comes from a different sensory process. With scented pods that contain aromas from fruits, herbs and more that slot into its specially designed water bottles, air up offers a new experience of plain water.

The limited-edition air up Batman Sipper Bundle includes three special pods: Batman Berry, Joker Grape, Mr. Freeze Icebonbon.
