BAPE and adidas continue to grow their collaborative work together as the two highlight the LWST sneaker model in the latest effort. The chunky silhouette nods to past eras, specifically the 90s and the skate shoes during the time. It takes the classic shoe as the base foundation but is dubbed the N sneaker this time around.
The shoe is intricately designed as each pair is made with 1ST CAMO patterning at the lining and sock liner. BAPE's iconic APE HEAD motif is seen on the lateral quarter applied by debossed accents. Additionally, there is also a BAPE STA and large adidas Trefoil emblem on the tongue debossed in white. Notably, all of the exclusive hoes are finished in an all-black LINE CAMO with gold accents.
