This new model is a tribute to the original Busenitz Pro, designed by Dennis Busenitz, a renowned figure in the global Pro skateboarding scene and a pivotal member of the adidas team.The collaboration celebrates Busenitz's contributions to both brands, blending high-performance skate features with Dime's classic design elements."For the Busenitz Vulc II, we wanted to incorporate unique color combinations in a skate-friendly suede material that we hope will appeal to fans of this model and help introduce the style to a new audience as well," shared Dime’s Mark Regimbal, adding "Dennis is universally respected in skateboarding and so [our] partnership with adidas should include someone like Dennis, who helped build the adidas Skateboarding program when it began."Busentiz also shared a few words on the collaboration, stating "I’ve known the Dime crew for many years; they’re longtime friends and a great brand to represent my adidas Skateboarding Pro model."The adidas x Dime Busenitz Vulc II features the brand's signature "wave-design" displayed on the patent leather three stripes and sockliner. Additionally, the updated model boasts a full suede upper for enhanced durability, a wider foxing tape for a vintage aesthetic and is completed with adidas x Dime co-branding on the heels, as well as Dime branding at the lateral side of the shoe in a gold foil font.The pair is expected to drop on December 9, via the CONFIRMED app, Dime's official site and Flagship Store -- followed by a release at select retailers starting December 11.
