Being one of the unique superheroes, Mahomes decided to release a dedicated series ahead of the Black Panther II this November.

After signing an agreement with Adidas last year, this Black Panther edition is expected to attract a large number of customers, as the entire design of this series is inspired by Boseman’s outfit in the movie, Black Panther.

With a combination of black and violet colors, the sleek gives a sense of the midnight appearance of the superhero. The outer sole is completely violet in color, and the laces mimic the shine of vibranium.
