New Collaboration Sneaker Released: Adidas Samba and Bape on Fashion Forefront Offering a Chic Appeal
Designer Nigo launched the Bape label in 1993, known for its bold and over-the-top style inspired by the neon lights and eccentric graphics of Tokyo's Harajuku district. Fast forward to 2023, and Bape has teamed up with Adidas for a surprising collaboration - the Bape x Adidas Samba.
This footwear item, available on the Adidas website, showcases a minimalist design with a leather finish in "Core Black" and "Footwear White". The classic gum outsole, reminiscent of the original Samba, provides grip, while a newly developed rubber element at the toe adds a modern touch.
The Bape x Adidas Samba stands out due to its understated style, a departure from the usual Bape aesthetic. Yet, it doesn't forget its roots, featuring the signature shooting star motif, a long-time Bape feature. The iconic, ribbed football boot tongue is also present.
The Adidas Samba, a shoe experiencing another successful year, is no stranger to collaborations. But the Bape x Adidas Samba marks a unique addition to its collection. The shoe can be found and purchased on the Adidas website, priced at $180.
While the collaboration products are primarily available through Adidas' official online store, they are not listed for in-store purchase in specific physical Adidas retail stores. Some items are sold online with options for in-store pickup, but availability in Adidas physical stores is not confirmed.
This new collaboration between Adidas and Bape is a testament to the versatility of both brands, blending minimalism with iconic Bape elements to create a unique footwear item that appeals to both streetwear enthusiasts and minimalist fashion lovers alike. So, if you're looking to add a touch of Bape's distinctive style to your wardrobe, head over to the Adidas website and grab a pair of the Bape x Adidas Samba today.
