/Sounds like "BAHM" (as in "bar") + "bah" (as in "bar")/
A sneaker, sports shoe, or athletic footwear of any brand or no brand at all. In Colombia bamba is the everyday word for sports shoes, whether they're expensive or straight from the neighborhood market.
“I bought new sneakers for the match.”
“With those nice kicks you better take care of them.”
