If you have not yet seen Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, then you need to make plans to watch the movie as soon as possible. The highly anticipated sequel was every bit as entertaining as the first installment of the series and thoroughly enjoyable for sneakerheads.

In addition to featuring mind-blowing animation, the movie also serves up nearly 2.5 hours of subliminal messaging for Nike. That is no surprise, given the recently released Air Jordan 1 'Next Chapter,' which was released in limited quantities and sold out immediately.

Luckily, there are options for fans who want to embrace their inner-Miles Morales but cannot afford to pay resale prices. Below are five more affordable options that are available online right now.

Air Jordan 1

Morales is an effortlessly cool character despite his confusing complexities and nagging teenage angst. His loosely tied Air Jordan sneakers are always the statement piece of his wardrobe. The old-school basketball shoes are loud enough to express his personality but still provide a timeless look because of their classic silhouette.

The Air Jordan 1 is available in three options: low, mid, and high. Currently, the high-top version is the most expensive and most difficult to find at retail price online. But online shoppers can choose between several styles and colorways of the Air Jordan 1 in full family sizing on the Nike website.

Being Spider-Man can be a dirty job, and as luck would have it, the Air Jordan 1 looks better with age. Some shoes need to be pristine to look their best, but these iconic kicks look better with some visible wear.

Jordan Everyday Crew Socks

Whether relaxing on his bed or getting up from a battle, movie-goers can't miss Miles' crew socks. Everyone has their own philosophy and personal preference when it comes to socks, but Miles always wears white socks.

The Jordan Brand Everyday socks make it easier for online shoppers as they are sold individually and in packs. The ultra-comfortable and stylish socks are available in a wide range of colors and styles in full family sizing on the Nike website.

These are your go-to everyday socks capable of supporting superheroes and athletes. The breathable knit pattern adds ventilation, while the cushioning underfoot helps soften the impact of your workout.

Jordan T-Shirt

Like his socks, Miles keeps it simple with a white t-shirt underneath all of his many layers. We never see the Jumpman logo, but it's hard to resist any shirt with "His Airness" on the chest.

The Jordan Dri-FIT Sport t-shirt is available in four colors for $35 in adult sizes on the Nike website. As someone who recently invested in this shirt, I can assure you it is comfortable and breathable (but it runs big, so keep that in mind when shopping).

Everyone's wardrobe can benefit from a steady rotation of monochromatic shirts to rotate through during the summer. However, the Jordan Dri-FIT Sport t-shirt will stand out from its competitor's thanks to its subtle yet cool style.

Nike Sportswear Club Fleece

We always see Miles during the winter months, and our protagonist loves to layer his clothing. It's a good lesson for everyone; different layers of colors and textures can make an outfit feel greater than its individual parts.

Now is not the best time to wear a jacket for most of the country. Conversely, it is the perfect opportunity to buy outwear at a low price. Miles wore a grey zip-up hoodie under his puffer coat, and fans can pick up a similar jacket at a discount.

The Nike Sportswear Club Fleece is available in ten colors for as low as $49 (24% off) in adult sizes on the Nike website. The soft fabric and simple street style make the piece versatile enough for everyday use. 

NBA Jersey

Let's get to the most controversial component of Miles' wardrobe - his blue and orange basketball jersey. In the movie, it clearly reads, "Brooklyn" across the chest. However, hoops fans will be quick to remind you those are the colors of the New York Knicks, not the Brooklyn Nets.

Either way, Nike has options to keep everyone happy. The Swoosh is the official uniform provider of the NBA, which means there are plenty of jerseys available on its website.

Online shoppers can choose between several Knicks (and Nets) jerseys at or below the retail price in full family sizing on the Nike website. But just remember that with great style comes even greater responsibility.
