They want to show customers that theses shoes will protect you just as good as the iron man suit to protect's tony stark. Also to make customers know that the shoes are as durable as the suit which can take damages from very powerful weapons.

The way they compare these shoe to a fictional super character is interesting to make it look like it would have similar qualities to that of the iron man suit, which makes me think this is an ad aim toward young children and fans of marvel
