Jim Lee: Its Got to be the
Shoes
by Rik Offenberger
Perhaps one of Jim Lee’s most iconic and popular images of Batman, the
cover to issue #608, features the Dark Knight’s…well, footwear –
prominently. Continuing that (admittedly stretched to breaking) theme,
Lee has designed more footwear for Batman, or, more accurately,
footwear with Batman on it.
In what’s sure to become geek chic for the coming convention season and
beyond, Lee has designed a limited edition Chuck Taylor All Star Batman
shoe for Converse.
The description of the shoes, which retail for $65.00 US, reads:
“Comic book artist Jim Lee collaborated with Converse and the WB
television network to design a Batman-inspired Chuck Taylor. Images of
the Caped Crusader swoop across this limited edition shoe; clear outsole
features a Gotham cityscape. Canvas upper, vulcanized rubber midsole and
outsole for increased durability and flexibility.”
