In order to celebrate the Skeletor character from 'Masters of the Universe,' BAIT joined with DreamWorks to create a short run of purple and blue sneakers.
Bringing together a vibrant colorway that likens the sneakers to the fictional antagonist, the two companies aim to appeal to the many fans of the Mattel franchise. Various uses of material give the sneakers more depth, as its purple suede heel and toe is contrasted against a bright blue leather upper. The sole meanwhile offers more variation to the purple and blue sneakers, with a stark white that helps tie the colors together.
The model is marked by 'Diadora N9000' branding that appears on the tongue, as well as the heel. If fans of Masters of the Universe want to get their hands on a pair, they need to sign up for a raffle that will allow only a certain amount to have access to the unique drop.
