Adidas & BAPE Celebrate Japanese Streetwear Culture With New Stan Smiths
In celebration of BAPE’s 30th anniversary, Adidas Originals has teamed up with the Japanese streetwear brand to bring a fresh twist to the iconic Stan Smith sneakers.
This collaboration introduces two distinct versions of the Stan Smith—featuring striking black and white colorways.
The updated shoes are adorned with signature collaborative elements that capture the essence of both brands.
Boasting a synthetic leather upper crafted from 60% recycled materials, this sustainable approach to the signature kicks aligns with the growing emphasis on eco-friendly fashion.
Adding a unique touch to the sneakers is a tonal debossed and embossed SOLID CAMO pattern, which showcases BAPE’s iconic camouflage motif.
The gold foil co-branded details add a touch of luxury to the shoes.
A standout feature of these collaborative Stan Smiths is the ABC CAMO Heel Mustache and gold “30th anniversary” lace jewels, commemorating this significant milestone in the streetwear label’s history.
To accompany the release of these special Stan Smiths, a playful campaign has been launched—placing the instantly recognizable shoes within an oversized, cartoon-esque claw machine.
The Adidas Originals x BAPE Stan Smiths will be available from November 18, 2023.
