As we inch ever closer to the highly anticipated release of Deadpool & Wolverine this July, there’s an upsurge in sneaker designs inspired by these legendary characters flooding our social media. But while an official collaboration with any major brands has yet to be confirmed (excluding the Reebok & Marvel team-up on the cool X-Men ’97 sneakers), it’s hard to marvel at stunning custom creations like the Deadpool & Wolverine Nike Kobe 6s and not have our imaginations ignited.
A Closer Look at the Sneakers
We’ve all been eagerly anticipating the team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine. With the movie’s release on the horizon, a sneaker collaboration starring these iconic characters is precisely what we need. Whether you’re a loyal Deadpool fan or a staunch Wolverine supporter, these custom Nike Kobe 6s by Mamba Concepts are set to delight.
The talented sneaker artist, Mamba Concepts, known for their innovative designs and attention to detail, has crafted two stunning pairs, each embodying the distinctive traits of these Marvel favourites.
Let’s start with Deadpool’s design. It features his signature red hue enveloping the scaly Kobe 6 base, masterfully shaded to mimic his iconic suit. Black detailing and accents throughout the design further enhance his unmistakable look. However, elements we are especially fond of are the deconstructed Off-White-style side Swooshes, mimicking the Canadian mercenary’s iconic katana blades. And let’s not forget the two white eyes on the heel, which beautifully encapsulate Deadpool’s cheeky persona.
On the flip side, you’re treated to a very vibrant Wolverine-themed design, decked out in his iconic yellow and black- though I will say, a touch of blue would nail his classic comic book essence and even his look from the upcoming film appearance. Noteworthy features on this pair include scratch marks running from the toe box to the midsole, along with striking Adamantium-inspired Swooshes that certainly can’t go unnoticed.
Plus, the packaging of these pairs doesn’t disappoint either! Each set is tucked into a beautiful box adorned with captivating artwork of Deadpool and Wolverine on the lids. It’s so striking that it’s difficult not to wish for a broader release of these magnificent custom designs. And although they are designed as individual pairs, imagining them worn as a mismatched set for an exceptionally unique and playful appearance is effortless.
