Comic book geek or not, you have to admit that these [Bounty Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-3) x [DC Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection) Airwalk sneakers are pretty damn slick.

The Bounty Hunter x DC Comics Airwalk sneakers are a collaborative effort between the three giants to create these ultra-cool, drool-worthy sneakers. These seriously slick shoes are designed after two of DC's most popular superheros: Superman and Batman. The sneakers come in either suede or leather--either way, you know you're going to be styling on the street. The high-top style features the Batman logo on the side, while the low-top has an imprint of the [Superman typography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection) on the bottom sole, and both have the Bounty Hunter logo.

The Bounty Hunter x DC Comics Airwalk sneakers are a must-have for fans of both featured superheros. Seriously, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne wouldn't have a problem rocking these.
