The Flash’s costume has come a long way since season 1, and this year Barry Allen got a big upgrade in the suit department. The suit that he currently wears features a lot more gold, but it doesn’t feature gold boots.
“Arrowverse” costume designer Andy Poon was recently asked by a fan on Instagram if we’ll ever see the gold boots on TV, and Poon said that he’s done concept art for the boots in the past, but looked too cartoony.
“I’ve done concept of the gold boot, looks too cartoony. Earth-2 Flash was fairly updated from comic and it doesn’t have yellow boots. Also Earth-2 characters are a bit more comic booky in tone.”
Sorry Flash fans, if you’re hoping to see gold boots on the CW, it’s not going to happen, but Poon did say he may post the concept art one day, and he also teased that we could be seeing new suits throughout the “Arrowverse” in the fall. So, at least we have that to look forward to.
