This July, adidas Originals and BAPE® continue their anniversary celebrations with another reimagined take on an iconic Three Stripes classic. Marking the third release in a series of commemorative launches that reignites one of culture’s most revered collaborations, the limited edition BAPE® Campus 80s sneaker takes all the hallmarks of the archival favorite and updates them with a distinctive BAPE® twist.
Known the world over for its signature details, BAPE®’s updated take on the Campus 80s silhouette 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.
Paying homage to the brand’s roots, the collaborative silhouette is framed in a visual campaign which revists the Japanese sneaker catalogs and magazines of the early 2000s. With each image exploring key product details and materials, the fictionalized editorial is a fitting ode to the past, present, and future of BAPE®.
Launching on July 1st, the limited edition BAPE® Campus 80s sneaker is available on CONFIRMED, via selected retailers, and on BAPE.com.
