The Superman Converse sneaker is available in two different patterns. The first is a denim-looking material with the Superman logo embroidered onto the side of the ankle. The second design is red, blue and white, and features a picture of Superman spreading around the entire heel. Each Superman Converse sneaker is a high-top design and is lined with an authentic Superman comic strip in the shoe's interior. These timeless kicks are available for purchase at participating outlets.
