In celebration of BAPE®’s 30th anniversary, adidas Originals and the iconic Japanese brand have joined forces to present the highly limited Forum 84 BAPE® Low Triple-White sneaker. This collaboration marks a significant milestone, introducing an innovative new drop format that includes a limited edition NFT auction.
A Fresh Take on a Classic
The Triple-White sneaker represents a refreshing contrast to its BAPE® 1ST CAMO predecessors, integrating the Harajuku brand’s iconography with a shooting star motif and “A Bathing Ape” embossed in silver metallic foil. The sneaker also features an NFC chip in the left tongue, providing access to a Digital Certificate of Authenticity.
A New Era of Collaboration
This collaboration reinforces both brands’ dedication to timeless style and relentless pursuit of excellence. The launch is supported by the adidas /// Studio (Three Stripes Studio) as a limited edition, product-linked NFT drop. This represents a new step for adidas, partnering with MoonPay for the first-ever digital asset auction for the brand.
