Great news for comic fans and collectors of trainers (yes, it's a big market I'll have you know). Comic legends Marvel have teamed up with sportswear giant Reebok to create a series of limited edition trainers for the X-men and Avengers characters. Hot on the heels of DC's Converse tie-in , Marvel launches their collaboration with trainer designs for Captain America, Red Skull, Wolverine, Sabretooth, Deadpool, Chambers, Black Widow, and White Queen. Marvel Spiderman and Venom trainers and boots are coming soon (maybe in time for the new Spidey film this summer?). Check out the cute tiny Spidey booties. Ahhh... We reckon there'll be plenty more to follow.  Visit the  Marvel website  for more details and all the pictures.
