A Bathing Ape and adidas continue to build on their legendary collaborative journey, a partnership that has seamlessly blended streetwear audacity with athletic prowess for over two decades. As 2024 unfolds, this dynamic duo once again captivates the sneaker community with the launch of the BAPE x adidas NRTN Pack. This highly anticipated release resurrects the adidas NRTN, a silhouette deeply rooted in skateboard culture reimagined and reintroduced as the LWST.
The pack presents two distinct colorways, both infused with BAPE's iconic green, setting the stage for a harmonious blend of style and substance. One variation is adorned with tan accents, offering a muted yet sophisticated palette, while its counterpart features rich brown accents, grounding the design with depth and warmth. The sneakers boast an upper cloaked in premium suede, complemented by crisp white nylon Three Stripes and robust laces, encapsulating the essence of luxury within a skateboarding framework.
BAPE's unmistakable branding takes center stage, with its iconic APE head logo debossed and BAPE STA branding elegantly placed on the heel. Each detail is meticulously crafted to celebrate the streetwear titan's heritage and influence. The collaboration is further elevated by including BAPE's signature camo print on the sockliner, a nod to the brand's legacy and its enduring impact on fashion and sneaker culture. The ensemble is rounded off with a timeless cream midsole paired with a functional gum outsole, marrying aesthetics with performance.
The BAPE x adidas NRTN Pack will release on April 20, 2024, through BAPE, adidas, and select online and in-store retailers. As of this writing, the retail price has not been announced.
