As the Japanese streetwear brand BAPE (A Bathing Ape) commemorates its 30th anniversary, it continues to expand its collaborative efforts with sportswear giant Adidas, offering a unique twist on the classic Campus 80 model​​.

For the past two decades, BAPE and Adidas have worked hand-in-hand, creating iconic designs that feature BAPE's signature ABC camo on a variety of Adidas silhouettes, such as the UltraBOOST and NMD TS1. This year, marking BAPE's 30th anniversary, the celebration began with the release of two Forum 84 Lows, and the festivities are set to continue with an honorary Campus 80 collaboration​​.

The Campus 80 model, originally celebrated for its simple design and comfort, has been reimagined to integrate trademark BAPE touches, ensuring streetwear fanatics worldwide will appreciate the unique blend of classic and contemporary styles. The design starts with smooth brown suede uppers, which replace Adidas' signature Three Stripes branding with white leather BAPE-STA logos. These are connected to co-branded gilded heel tabs that add an extra pop of style​​.

Additionally, Adidas branding remains on the interior-facing walls of the shoes, and golden 30th-anniversary lace dubraes are used to secure the laces into place. The design is completed with debossed numerals on the tongues and standard white rubber bottoms, effectively marrying the traditional Campus 80 silhouette with BAPE's distinctive aesthetic​​.

The BAPE x Adidas Campus 80 collaboration is set to be released on July 1 through Adidas, BAPE, and select retailers, offering consumers a unique chance to own a piece of streetwear history. This collaboration stands as a testament to the enduring partnership between BAPE and Adidas, and the shared dedication to blending style, comfort, and innovation​​.
