Wolverine wouldn’t exactly get away with wearing gloves on his hands.
So instead it seems X-Men actor Hugh Jackman opted to wear them on his feet.
The 44-year-old was seen exercising on the streets of New York City on Saturday wearing odd trainers.

The running footwear is supposed to promote a healthy trend among jogging fans as it gives the effect of being barefoot as opposed to wearing heavy shoes.
And Hugh stood out in the bright lace-up pair which featured yellow and green hues in contrast to his dark ensemble.
As he darted around with his dog Dali on a leash, his feet were very noticeable paired with tight black leggings, Adidas shorts and a navy blue hooded top.
He covered his eyes with dark circular sunglasses and his head with a beanie hat, but that didn’t stop the screen star from being pointed out by onlookers thanks to his quirky ensemble.
After working up a sweat, Hugh stopped in the Central Park area to eat lunch and spend time with his son Oscar.
Having changed into jeans and more traditional sneakers, the star wolfed down some food that he had prepared himself from Tupperware.
He also picked up some food from Citarella Gourmet Market to feast on while his boy moved around on a scooter..
The Australian husband of actress Debra Lee-Furness, 57, also has daughter Ava, who like Oscar they adopted.
Hugh has been steadily building his fitness levels up in order to prepare for his on-going role as Wolverine, and spoke to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson for advice on how to bulk up.

The former professional wrestler advised him to eat six meals a day and gain a pound a week for six months by consuming 6,000 calories a day which consisted mainly of chicken, steak and brown rice.
‘It’s not easy for me,’ Hugh told Entertainment Weekly. ‘Because I’m actually quite long and lean.’
Hugh has also said that the tone of the new film will be different from the first Wolverine installment.

‘I’m thrilled the studio called it The Wolverine instead of Wolverine 2, because we’re trying to set it up as a standalone picture,’ he told Total Film magazine.
‘Tonally, it’s different from the other X-Men movies. It’s got massive action sequences, as people would expect, and it’ll be great fun.
‘But it is a character-driven movie. It’s about a guy completely out of his element, in this world that’s foreign to him, and how he copes with that. I feel like we have the opportunity to deliver that badass, kick-ass Wolverine I know everybody wants to see.’
The Wolverine will arrive in UK and US cinemas on July 26.
