adidas Originals and BAPE are back. This time, continuing the trailblazing partnership with a collaborative first—a bold take on the 2000s-inspired Orketro silhouette, designed in Tokyo.
Drawing on an era defined by undeniable attitude and BAPE’s unmatched influence on pop culture, the label’s take on the Orketro sneaker features contrasting three stripes on the left shoe and an iconic BAPE STA on the right. Bringing a fresh new look to the silhouette, the collaborative look mixes mesh and enamel leather with the signature BAPE STA Y2K colourway as well as a 1ST LINE CAMO update to the upper overlay. In addition, co-branded ‘A Bathing Ape’ and adidas Originals details punctuate the look throughout to cap it off in style.
Inspired by bold Y2K color palettes, the BAPE Orketro arrives in three colorways. First up are two dynamic makeups—one in yellow, blue, white, and green, and the other in tonal purple with white accents. Meanwhile, the third BAPE exclusive colourway is made up of a tonal black upper with a white midsole.
Each pair then arrives in a custom co-branded box with a blue mesh bag.
The BAPE x adidas Orketro sneaker collection is now available adidas.co.za and select stores. The retail price is set at R 2,999.00.
