- Chamber
- Wolverine
- The White Queen
- Captain America
- The Red Skull
- Sabretooth

Marvel’s website says that fans should keep their eyes open, as Spider-Man-themed sneakers will be coming soon to join the crowd–but frankly I got those at Wal-Mart for my kid, and they only cost $7.Some of the sneakers are pretty standard stuff, although the Wolverine and Chamber ones have way more yellow than I would be comfortable putting on my feet as I approach middle age. Like my comic choices, give me a good ol’ Captain America (or, y’know–Deadpool) any day of the week.
