Because Cap plays a mean defense.

And I'm not talking about his ability to single-handedly mitigate a full-court press -- I'm talking about his ability to head-butt a tank and hurl the occupants into the Rhine river.

However, if I were talking about Cap's advanced acumen on the basketball court -- or his surprising sense of style regardless of his long years as a bobbing Cap-sicle -- Cap would DEFINITELY sport the Captain America Shield Logo Men's High Top Sneakers.

Featuring blue, red, and leather-like material conveying Cap's patriotic aesthetic, these Captain America high-top sneakers are awesome. Really? YES:

• Blue, leather-like body simulating Steve Rogers' captivating Cap costume.
  
  
• Red tounges extending to the toes.
  
  
• Cap shield symbols on both sneakers.
  
  
• Official MARVEL logos adorning both heel labels!
  
  
• White, thick soles etched with deep traction lines.
