Reebok and Dime work in collaboration to spotlight the BB4000 sneaker model. The two imprints nod to the classic restoration of the 'Ecce Homo' painting incident that happened about a decade ago. The artwork in Santuario de la Misericordia was vandalized.
Dime nods to this moment through some printable work, a toaster, and even puzzles that are done in the Restoration graphic. Now it makes its way onto two iterations of the Reebok BB4000 sneaker. There are two colorway options in total, starting with a white leather option detailed with navy blue accents. The second colorway offers warmer hues as the base is made up of a brown suede material accented with black detailing. The tongues feature elements of the symbolic moment.
