We did get a retro version of the Invisible Women 2.0 last year, but reception was lukewarm as the iconic translucent panelling was heavily reduced. Older sneakerheads will know how the original Invisible Women Air Force 1 was prone to yellowing and cracking, an example of the silhouette where it aged less-than-gracefully.

As for the “Human Torch” 110, most pairs are now plagued by cloudy Air units, and if they’re still somehow deadstock, getting them out the box would likely result in them crumbling away in your hands.

For those who are up-to-date with the Comicon scene, or if you’re a fervent checker of IMDB, it appears that the Fantastic Four will be making an appearance in the next Avengers Doomsday (2026) and Avengers Secret Wars (2027) films. With Robert Downey Junior playing the villainous Doomsday, plus the simple fact that the Avengers’ movies are absolute cultural powerhouses, dropping the 3 Nike Marvel-inspired shoes alongside the franchise makes total sense.

Included in the retros are the Dr Droom’s Foamposite Pro, a predominantly black and white that is arguably the most basic from the pack. One personal theory involves a possible retro of the MF Doom Dunk that really blew up during the early 2020s Dunk hype era, although with the passing of the late Daniel Dumile (MF Doom) in 2021, getting the go-ahead from his estate is unlikely. Will Nike create an inspired-version of the shoe? Who’s to say, but with the Dr Doom character being part of the zeitgeist in the upcoming year, it could be a great opportunity to pay homage to an underground icon.
