With a multi-year relationship under their belt, adidas and BAPE are reuniting for a Superstar collaboration that exudes statement. In the past, adidas has utilized the Superstar sneaker as a regular in their collaborations with designers and brands like NEIGHBORHOOD and Wales Bonner, redesigning it. Like the previous partnerships, the BAPE x adidas design takes on the shoe’s traditional shape without remixing any original look. Along with the shoes, the pair is releasing an accompanying apparel range, including items like a co-branded hoodie, socks, hat, and socks. Depending on your style, this collaboration has produced two new colorways for the Superstar sneaker that will satisfy any adidas dresser.

Available in two new colorways, the BAPE x adidas Superstar sneaker is not your average shoe. Crafted with synthetic and textile uppers, this sneaker comes in Cloud White/Core Black/Off White and Blue/Cloud White/Off White colorways. Featuring the BAPE STA motif on the right panel of the shoe, while the iconic Three Stripes are placed on the left. An off-white sole and camo-embossed camo pattern on the base of the upper complete the shoe’s design. While subtle, the camo-embossed pattern adds plenty of texture and dimension to an enticing shoe. Both blue and white colorways will be available via the BAPE and adidas web stores on April 5 and will retail $160 each. While there isn’t much need to reimagine the 2000s era sneaker silhouette, the play of colorways and motifs allow for a fresher look that embodies this partnership.
