BAPE started out the year making headlines for business of the not-so-distant past, but the Japanese brand is making it clear that it’s definitely looking to the future. Starting with what’s in store for this year, 2023 marks a major milestone for BAPE, who are celebrating their 30th anniversary and two decades’ worth of collaborations with adidas. That’s why, all throughout this year, you can expect special releases to be arriving from the duo, with five drops in total which will see unexpected takes on signature silhouettes.,
Kicking things off is a collaborative take on the Campus 80s, giving it a BAPE makeover to reimagine it through the lens of the infamous BAPE STA. As such, where you would normally find adi’s Three Stripes, you’ll also find mismatched white BAPE STA logos along alternating sides. Below that, you’ll find navy uppers met with light cream outsoles. Co-branded details have been stamped onto the tongues, and BAPE’s co-sign appears on the lace dubraes. Polishing off the collaboration is, of course, the specialised packaging.
Keen to cop the BAPE x adidas Campus 80s? They’ll arrive on April 1 via BAPE stores and online channels, followed by the adidas webstore on April 2. Expect a wider release to follow.
