To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the adidas Originals icon, the "SuperStar," BAPE(R) and adidas Originals are teaming up again for the 21SS collection.

The latest "SuperStar" from this collaboration comes in two color variations. BAPE(R)'s signature "STA" and adidas' "three stripes" are featured, with the characteristics of both brands designed asymmetrically across the entire upper. The heel features the "BAPE STA™" and "adidas Originals" logos, and the tongue features both brand logos on a gold label.

The coloring, based on a black and white contrast, is a design that pays homage to the "clean and classic" design of the OG "SuperStar" model, which was born in 1969. The other color lineup also incorporates three colors of BAPE(R) CAMO, with mismatched tones of purple, red, and blue throughout.

This collection will be available at authorized A BATHING APE(R) retailers and the BAPE.COM WEB STORE on February 27, 2021. For detailed sales information, please check the special BAPE.COM page.

About the BAPE(R) x adidas Partnership
BAPE(R) and adidas' ongoing collaboration, which continues to this day, began in 2003 with the production of a modified version of the "Super Ape Star." At the time, the partnership adopted the slogan "The Respect is Mutual," instilling a new mindset. Now marking 18 years and numerous collaborations, the "SuperStar," a symbol of the collaboration between the two brands, is being reinterpreted to mark the 50th anniversary. This is the sixth "SuperStar" collaboration between the two companies, and is reminiscent of BAPE(R)'s "SKULL STA," which was created 20 years ago and sampled the "SuperStar."
