The Bape Campus 80s sneaker melds all the hallmarks of the Adidas silhouette with a distinctive Bape twist. The reimagined shoe features a chocolate brown suede upper, custom Three Stripes, and Bape lateral branding, Trefoil and Bape-STA heel tabs, a custom '30' lace jewel, and 30th-anniversary tongue details, signifying the brand's history and aesthetic, Adidas said in a press release.
Paying homage to the brand’s roots, the collaborative silhouette is framed in a visual campaign which revisits the Japanese sneaker catalogues and magazines of the early 2000s. With each image exploring key product details and materials, the fictionalised editorial is a fitting ode to the past, present, and future of Bape.
Launching on July 1, 2023, the limited edition Bape Campus 80s sneaker is available on Confirmed, via selected retailers, and on Bape’s website.
