As BAPE (A Bathing Ape) continues to commemorate its 30th year in the fashion industry, it once again fuses its unique aesthetic with Adidas' timeless Stan Smith.
This collaboration comes from a series of successful Forum Lows and an exclusive Adidas Golf collection, marking another milestone in BAPE's storied legacy with the renowned sportswear brand.
The BAPE x Adidas Stan Smith is a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary, with the iconic silhouette receiving a distinctive BAPE makeover. Retaining Stan Smith's signature white leather base, the sneaker adopts a new persona through a debossed camouflage pattern, a subtle yet impactful nod to BAPE's design language. This detail elevates the shoe from a simple tennis classic to a streetwear staple.
In true BAPE fashion, the green heel overlays showcase the brand's signature camo print, interjecting a bold graphic contrasting with the shoe's pristine white. Gold foil branding is not merely a stamp of premium quality but a direct reference to BAPE's luxury streetwear status, with the midfoot and tongue highlighting the partnership and celebration.
The customization extends to the finer details, with the BAPE gorilla proudly emblazoned on the tongue, replacing the traditional portrait of Stan Smith. Furthering the collaborative spirit, special-edition 30th-anniversary lace dubraes are carried over from previous partnerships, underscoring the long-standing relationship between the two brands.
The Bape x Adidas Stan Smith will arrive on Adidas.com on November 18, with pairs set to hit digital shelves from 11:00 am ET.
