Miles Morales' costume for the upcoming Spider-Man: Miles Morales video game will look a bit different from the one the character donned in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.Nice Kicks, a website dedicated to sneaker culture and community, spotted a key difference in Miles' footwear by comparing photos from both projects. In Spider-Verse, the hero is wearing Air Jordans, specifically what appears to be a pair of Chicago 1s. However, in the new game, he has switched brands, representing adidas instead.
Many twitter users were upset with the change and view the Air Jordans as a superior shoe. However, user JDSKicks came up with his own theory about what happened to Miles' Chicago 1 pair.
"Miles is smart. Chicago 1s prices are crazy r[ight] n[ow] so he obviously cashed in and sold his pair on Grailed as '8/10 condition, worn maybe five times,'" he wrote, referring to the online sneaker marketplace.
Miles Morales was created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli in 2011. His first appearance was in Ultimate Fallout #4, which came out in August of that year. He has similar powers to Peter Parker but can also shoot bursts of electrical energy out of his hands. Since his comics debut, he has risen in popularity, eventually making his way to the big screen. Spider-Verse grossed $375.5 million on a $90 million budget and won Best Animated Feature at the 91st Academy Awards and Best Animated Feature Film at the 76th Golden Globe Awards. A sequel is currently in development and will feature Japanese Spider-Man from the 1970s Japanese series.
There are also rumors swirling that Morales will make his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut in the untitled Spider-Man 3 starring Tom Holland. A deleted scene from 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming featured Miles' uncle Aaron (Donald Glover) saying his name.
