Starting with the Super Ape Star in 2003, adidas and BAPE have left their mark on culture for two decades with a series of highly recognizable collaborations.

‍

‍

On the occasion of the Japanese brand's 30th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of their partnership, the Three Stripes and the Japanese label have once again teamed up to celebrate for a year and present five unique and highly anticipated products.

‍

‍

Over the year, numerous BAPE details and graphics will be on display on signature silhouettes as the two brands cross their respective archives to create timeless looks in unexpected ways. ‍

‍

‍

As the start of a unique partnership, adidas Originals and BAPE will begin their celebrations with the launch of a new joint version of the Campus 80s sneaker.

‍

‍

In a typically playful manner, the classic silhouette is given a BAPE makeover, as the BAPE STA application replaces the three stripes that are normally found on one side of the shoe.

‍

‍

Co-branded details, gold heel patches, and gold laces complete the look, while a custom printed box completes the thing.

‍

‍

An animated video that revives the BAPE logos and symbols, as well as a variety of key moments that the two brands have shared over the years, announces the arrival of the project.

‍

‍

Starting April 1, fans of the partnership can expect a range of daring drops, content, and events over the coming months.
