To celebrate Black History Month, the adidas D Rose 6 is treated in a unique finish that’s inspired by the triumph of track and field star, Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals during the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics.
Comprised of an aged, tumbled leather upper that pays homage to the cleats worn by Owens, the basketball silhouette is contrasted by off-white hits and a clear outsole with gold flecks. Being the first American to claim four medals at the games, gold accents are implemented on the logo, heel straps, tongue detailing, lace lock and faceted eyelets celebrate the groundbreaking feat.
Additionally, a subtle tribute to the crowd in attendance with a black-and-white photo are printed on the collar lining and back of the tongue. Retailing for $140, you can purchase this BHM pair at adidas retailers this month.

A really cool tribute. I like the silhouette as well, and the execution/colorway was nicely done. Fans of the model would definitely appreciate this pair.
