BAPE and adidas have been consistently churning out collaborations for the past few years. In February, the two even teamed up for a special 30th-anniversary edition of the adidas Stan Smith, covering the sneaker in BAPE’s distinct ABC camo print.
The brands have now returned with another fresh take on a classic adidas shoe. The adidas N BAPE is a reissue of adidas’ ‘90s-era Norton, a soft skate sneaker with a chunky sole.
For the collaboration, BAPE introduced two new colorways to the Norton: a “Sand” and a “Shadow Green.” The “Sand” features a dark beige body with a green tongue and overlay, as well as the model’s distinct three white stripes.
The “Shadow Green” option, meanwhile, carries the same green color into the body. Both sneakers have a brown midsole with a subtle white BAPE logo, while the adidas trefoil is printed on the tongue. A camo print lines the interior of the shoe.
