Adidas Retro - Mutombo

Dikembe Mutombo, known for waving his finger after every block he made during his career, also will be remembered for his humanitarian ways. Back in his hometown, Kinshasa, the capital of Congo, there is a $29 million hospital which is under construction. Make it known that Mutombo himself donated over $18 million to this project. Well on another note, Adidas will be retroing his signature sneaker which hit the scenes in the early 90s. Being that Mutombo bolted on Adidas and signed with Nike, these kicks will not have the number 55 on them as well as the tribal artwork that was outlined on the tongue. So not significantly like the originals but they are still eye-catchy. Look for them to drop early fall.
