adidas and Bape® Celebrate Japanese Streetwear past and Future with Collaborative Takes on the Stan Smith Sneaker.

adidas Originals and BAPE® have joined forces once again to present two new takes on the archival classic Stan Smith – in celebration of the Japanese streetwear brand’s 30th anniversary.

Reimagined in two, contrasting, black and white colorways, the BAPE® Stan Smith features a host of signature collaborative details. Reinventing the silhouette in typical BAPE® fashion, the Stan Smith’s quintessential upper is updated with a synthetic leather upper made with 60% recycled materials and a tonal debossed and embossed SOLID CAMO pattern, while gold foil co-branded details sit atop an ABC CAMO Heel Mustache. The look is then completed with gold ’30th Anniversary’ lace jewels and a custom co-branded box.

Paying homage to Japanese streetwear history, the collaborative Stan Smith sneakers are playfully brought to life through a campaign which situates the instantly recognizable shoes within an oversized cartoon-esque claw machine.

Arriving on November 18th, both colorways of the limited edition BAPE® Stan Smith are available on CONFIRMED, via selected retailers, and on BAPE.COM.
