Amidst all this speculation, fans are wishing for a particular set of shoes to be a part of this Airphoria collaboration. This set of shoes, called Air Jordans 1, belongs to Miles Morales, Marvel’s favorite Kid Arachnid. These shoes were a special edition launch aimed to celebrate the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
