America welcomes the COPA América Centenario for the first time on U.S. soil as the international football (soccer) tournament celebrates its 100-year anniversary this year. In honor of the milestone, made in USA companies DreamWorks and BAIT are coming together with Italian footwear purveyor Diadora for a special series of six sneakers that kick off today with a collaborative S8000 model.

As previewed earlier, the sneaker dons a bold black and white colorway inspired by the animation studio’s hit film Kung Fu Panda. The premium rendition of the made in Italy shoe features quality pony hair with supple leather details across its upper. Custom tri-branded insoles line the footbeds while lace options include flat waxed black and white laces. The shoes are encased in a Kung Fu Panda-themed box.

Limited to 300 units, BAIT x DreamWorks x Diadora S8000 “Kung Fu Panda” sneakers can be purchased for $300 USD when they launch May 28 at all BAIT chapter stores. Enter BAIT’s raffle for a chance to win the sneakers online.
