Dikembe Mutombo’s distinctive signature sneaker makes its return to BAIT on August 24. The original adidas Mutombo makes a triumphant return in its original colorway, twenty years after Dikembe rocked them on the court as a sophomore center for the Denver Nuggets. The design ties directly into his heritage with a heavy use of traditional African patterns on the overlay and undersole. The iconic shield logo serves as a testament to his fearsome defensive prowess, a skill that resulted in 3.5 blocks a game punctuated by as many finger wags. The rest of the shoe is constructed from nubuck, leather, and canvas sections on the upper, embossed leather on the heel, and rubber on the sole.
The adidas Originals Mutombo will make its return on August 24 to the flagship BAIT store in Diamond Bar and BAITme.com. Stay tuned to us on Twitter for the latest info as release date nears.
