Jayson Tatum He debuted a web-slinging player-exclusive version of his signature sneaker during the Boston Celtics’ overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.

The Jordan Tatum 3 The player-exclusive Spider-Man colorway was created for Tatum’s son Deuce, whose sixth birthday party was themed around the Marvel superhero. Wavy red panels are lined with blue for the sneaker’s upper, while the midsole cutouts appear in white to evoke the eyes of Spider-Man’s mask. The upper’s contrasting panels appear black at first glance, but upon closer inspection you’ll notice a smoky red graphic.

Despite the clear theme, the sneaker was not created in collaboration with Marvel.

Tatum’s third Jordan Brand signature sneaker launched in early October and features a Cuslon 3.0 foam midsole with Zoom Air insert. The flexible upper is designed to conform to the wearer’s foot when worn, making the Tatum 3 the lightest sneaker in Jordan Brand’s performance range. Deuce’s name also appears on the inside of the tongue opposite Tatum’s logo, making each release a tribute to his son. Flowing lines throughout the upper have made the Tatum 3 the most dynamic model in its signature line and is intended to “represent his uninterrupted approach to the game and the foundation of his family tree.”

In a press release announcing the official unveiling of the Tatum 3, the Celtics star said: “I don’t take having a signature shoe for granted. I’m grateful to be in a position where I can collaborate with Jordan Brand and allow fans to connect with me through my shoe. My favorite part of the 3s is the way they take on colors, so I hope that by telling the story of the color combination we inspire and energize many people.”

This special “Spider-Man” colorway for the Tatum 3 will likely remain exclusive to him and will not be sold to the general public. Jordan Brand has already collaborated with the animated film Miles Morales franchise for two editions of the Air Jordan 1 each tied to a specific film.
