The 'Busenitz Pro' from adidas Skateboarding was made with Dennis Busenitz's input. The first collaborative model between the brand and the boarder was released 10 years ago -- raising the bar for the skate footwear franchise that followed it.
In an effort to celebrate the long history of the collaboration, adidas designed a fresh Busenitz Pro, which has an old school look that's reminiscent of the original's design. Subtle in appearance, the sneakers feature a white, gray and gold colorway -- with the latter utilized for lettering and artwork.
As a representative of the brand explains, “From the time of Dennis joining the adidas team and the design and creativity behind his signature shoe to him closing our first-ever full length film 'Away Days' - the adidas Skateboarding’s ten-year relationship with Dennis Busenitz has been the perfect partnership.”
