[Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bb-4000-li-basketball-shoes) and [Dime](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixxa) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-romulus-reebok-bb-4000-ii-mid-shoes). 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.
