Das Parintins Modell der "ZX 800 Flavors of the world" Serie von Adidas bezieht sich auf eine Folklore Festival aus der brasilianischen Amazonas Region. Jedes Jahr kommen tausende Brasilianer in die Stadt Parintins, um auf dem Volksfest "Bumba Meu Boi" zu tanzen. Die Geschichte des Tanzwettbewerbs zwischen den zwei Parteien Boi Caprichoso (blau) und Boi Garantido (rot) lautet in etwa so:

"According to legend, a pregnant slave named Mae Catarina had the uncontrollable urge to eat a bull´s tongue. Her husband killed the best bull on the farm, but was caught and sentenced to death by his master. Catarina found a priest, who resurrected the bull and her husband was saved. The story lives on through the history of two families: the Cids and the Monteverdes. With their riches, the two families built models of bulls - Caprichoso and Garantido, respectively - and paraded them around the town, feuding if they met each other on the journey."
