BAPE and adidas Originals: Celebrating 20 Years of Collaboration with the Forum 84 Low
If you are a fan of streetwear and sneakers, you probably know about BAPE® and adidas Originals. These two brands have been collaborating for 20 years, creating some of the most iconic and sought-after products in the fashion industry. This year, they are celebrating their anniversaries with a special edition of the Forum 84 Low sneaker. A classic silhouette that combines heritage and style.
What is the Forum 84 Low sneaker?
The Forum 84 Low sneaker was first introduced in 1984 as a basketball shoe. It featured a leather upper, a Velcro strap, and a rubber outsole. It was one of the first shoes to use the adidas Trefoil logo, which symbolizes the diversity and unity of the brand. The Forum 84 Low sneaker became popular among athletes, musicians, and celebrities. And soon transcended its original purpose to become a fashion statement.
How did BAPE® and adidas Originals collaborate on this sneaker?
BAPE® and adidas Originals have been working together since 2003 when they released their first joint collection of apparel and footwear. Since then, they have collaborated on various projects, such as the Superstar, the NMD, and the Ultra Boost. Their partnership is based on mutual respect and admiration for each other’s creativity and heritage.
For their latest collaboration, they decided to revisit the Forum 84 Low sneaker and give it a fresh twist. They used BAPE®’s signature camo leather for the upper, which comes in two colorways: green and blue. They also added gold accents on the tongue labels and lace jewels, as well as co-branded details on the insoles and heel tabs. The result is a stunning sneaker that reflects both brands’ identities and histories.
How can you get the BAPE® x adidas Originals Forum 84 Low sneaker?
The BAPE® x adidas Originals Forum 84 Low sneaker will be released on May 20th, 2023. It will be available at selected retailers, on BAPE.com, and for a pre-sign-up on CONFIRMED. The sneaker is expected to sell out quickly, so make sure you don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of streetwear history.
To celebrate this launch, BAPE® and adidas Originals have also created a campaign that features giant figures wearing the sneaker in different urban settings. The campaign also stars NBA player Jalen Green. Green is a fan of both brands and represents their spirit of innovation and excellence.
