James Gunn’s recent trailer for Superman’s 2025 adventures has inspired a great deal of hope for what lies ahead in this new chapter of the DC Universe. Now seems like the perfect time to look back at some of the amazing superhero sneakers (both customs and originals) released recently. Here are the best of the best.
Superman Nike Dunks
These Nike SB Dunk Lows by Thomas Bulman of @bull_airs_official are the perfect way to celebrate Superman’s return to the big screen. On one foot, this sneaker displays Superman’s signature red and blue colour scheme, with the ‘S’ (or, more appropriately, the Kryptonian symbol of hope) on the shoe’s sides instead of the Swoosh.

PUMA Suede Classic The Batman
Unlike many other collaborations for Batman, the PUMA Suede Classic variant stands out. Many previous Batman-related sneaker colourways have either gone with the near-all-black upper or that of the blues, greys and yellows from the older comics. This time around, with inspiration from The Batman film, the primary colours are black and red. And it looks brilliant. To learn more: Sneaker Fortress
