Everyone wants a piece of the Avengers pie. When a movie with a global audience this large is at stake, there's no brand deal that doesn't make sense to at least attempt. We've already seen Under Armour, Samsung and Gillette, among others, team up with Marvel and Disney to produce a few Avengers-themed goods. It would seem however, that Adidas, already responsible for Quicksilver's sneakers, isn't content with just running shoes with Avengers designs. According to Chinese sneaker site Dunk, Adidas is planning on revisiting some of its more well-known basketball sneakers from years past, albeit with a comic book twist. Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor will all get retrofitted onto kicks from the Adidas catalog, though your mileage may vary as to how attractive these shoes really are. Though I guess it doesn't really matter given that comic book-themed footwear for adults is rather limited outside of Journeys.

So today, deck the sewer walls and wash that pizza down with eggnog as we take a look back at this holiday classic, and the great many questions it raises just by its very existence.

Young Avengers artist Jamie McKelvie showed off some custom Adidas made to resemble Captain Marvel, the superheroine whose costume he recently redesigned to great acclaim (particularly from cosplayers).

Dwight Howard's affection for the Man of Steel has earned him some serious dunk contest and SportsCenter commercial cred. Sure, he hasn't donned a costume to play Steel onscreen like his relative rival Superman superfan Shaquille O'Neal, but thanks to a team up between Warner Brothers and Adidas, the NBA star (and Olympic gold medalist) and his fans can soon don official Superman merchandise with

Not too long ago, a pair of Darth Vader sneakers from Adidas came to our attention, hilariously equipped with action figure style cardboard packaging. But as it turns out, those shoes were just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to the aforementioned Vader sneakers, there's an entire Galactic Empire's worth of footwear based on "Star Wars" on the way from Adidas...

Super heroes and sports - it's a combination that usually results with characters like Triathlon and Booster Gold, burned out jocks reliving their glory days. Adidas is taking a better approach and The Beat has the images to prove it. It'd be easy to mock Adidas' new promotional soccer posters if they were lame...
