The collection debuts the Crazy Energy+ performance silhouette in metallic silver camo alongside purple camo apparel and a statement varsity jacket

adidas and BAPE have officially reunited for a collaborative collection anchored by the adidas Crazy Energy+, tapping into the basketball golden era of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Fronted by NBA standout Jalen Williams, the seasonal project bridges modern hardwood performance with quintessential Japanese streetwear design codes.

The footwear offering is centered on the Crazy Energy+, one of adidas Basketball’s newest performance franchises. BAPE elevates the court model through an all-over metallic “COLOR CAMO SILVER” print, a knitted “WGM” (World Gone Mad) lace overlay, and two sets of interchangeable laces. The design carries the high-energy aesthetic of turn-of-the-century hoops culture, merging contemporary technical court construction with archival streetwear graphics.

Accompanying the footwear is a comprehensive apparel and accessories lineup dominated by BAPE’s signature “COLOR CAMO PURPLE.” Leading the range is a black varsity jacket accented with purple paneling, gold studs, and a bold chenille “World Gone Mad” back graphic. The collection also introduces a purple reversible mesh COLOR CAMO hoodie featuring a tonal shark face on the outer hood and an all-over STA print lining, matched with reversible Adibreak track pants. A “World Gone Mad” warm-up top, a BABY MILO graphic tee, a reversible knit beanie, and a BABY MILO basketball bag round out the capsule.

The latest adidas and BAPE collection officially launches on November 7 via the adidas CONFIRMED app, select retailers, BAPE STORE® locations, and online.
