.SimuLiu reveals that he originally questioned wearing Air Jordans as shangchi, Marvel's first headlining Asian superhero.
, and one reason in particular has to do with the cap-off to his costume, a pair of classic Nike Air Jordan sneakers in black and red.Shang-Chi is missing the quintessential superhero trappings
, and he quickly took note of that."I fought against it initially. I remember doing the costume fitting and being like, 'Is he the first superhero to wear running shoes?' He should be wearing, like, battle boots or something. I didn't see it the way they saw it," Liu told Inverse, confirming that once they started filming, he came around to the idea.
Park provided reasoning behind the decision, too, explaining that he aimed to reinvent Shang-Chi, though he sourced lightly from the original comics."I did explorations that were not even reminiscent of the comics, but ancient Chinese culture to very westernized, very urban looks . . . Whenever we design a costume, we're trying to tell a story of that character. The dragon [armor] symbolizes Shang-Chi's mom. The Ten Rings are given to him by his dad.
Liu, whose front facing position as Marvel's first headlining Asian superhero gave him time to reflect on the Asian community in 2021, eventually understood why the shoe helped shape his character's identity and make him more relatable."I think the most revolutionary thing we did with our movie was that we portrayed a human being, an Asian-American, who was three-dimensional," he said.
