Description
DC Batman Vintage Shoes (4.5 & Infant) & Gloves Lot (Various, 1966). Holy fashion statement, Batman! This rare 1966 lot brings together three vintage pieces of Caped Crusader apparel - each a wearable relic from the peak of Bat-mania. The lot includes a pair of youth-size canvas Batman shoes marked size 4.5, manufactured by Randolph Manufacturing (Randy) in the 1960s. These black slip-ons feature the iconic Batman logo stamped proudly on the tongue and remain unworn, though aged with time. They come housed in their original Randy Batman shoebox, which displays heavy surface wear, including creases, scuffs, veining, mild staining, and discoloration. The box advertises a free Batman ring packed with every pair - and this lot includes the original red plastic flicker ring, still present decades later.Also included is a matching pair of infant Batman shoes, stylistically consistent with the youth version. These appear lightly worn, offering a rare side-by-side look at two original 1960s sizes from the same manufacturer. Completing the ensemble is a pair of Batman dress-up gloves made by Wells Lamont Corp, dated 1966. These cloth gloves come in their original branded polybag, which is open along the bottom edge and exhibits heavy wear from scuffing, small tears, staining, and a puncture on the right side. The Sears price tag remains attached, and the gloves themselves appear unworn. A nostalgic trio that captures the commercial reach of Batman's 1966 boom, this lot is perfect for collectors of vintage apparel, superhero ephemera, or Batman's merchandising golden age. From utility belts to tiny Bat-booties - the Bat-brand spared no one.
