BAPE and adidas mark the latest chapter in their long‑standing partnership with the new Adizero EVO SL sneakers. Two colorways headline the drop, spanning a vibrant “Blue/Green” and “White/Gold” version, each offering a distinct balance of athletic function and streetwear flair.
Leaning even further into a color-clashing, split-foot formula, the “Blue/Green” variant embraces a mismatched aesthetic. Instead of a white base, the right sneaker is doused entirely in a deep royal blue mesh, while the left sneaker transitions into a rich, dark green mesh. The two distinct shoes are visually tied together by a series of high-contrast embellishments, including fiery red laces, matching red collar linings, and vibrant turquoise hits accenting the eyestays and tongue stabilizers.
Meanwhile, the “White/Gold” colorway features a clean, ultra-breathable white engineered mesh upper that serves as a canvas for striking asymmetrical color blocking. The pair splits its primary accents down the middle, using hot pink tones on the left shoe and soft sky blue on the right. Branding is treated with a playful, non-uniform arrangement: one lateral side proudly displays the classic adidas Three Stripes while its medial side features a gilded BAPE Shooting Star (STA) logo, with the opposing shoe flipping the layout.
Both sneakers feature split branding, with adidas’ Three Stripes on one shoe and BAPE’s STA logo on the other, underscoring the dual identity of the collaboration. Performance is elevated through adidas’ LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam midsole, offering responsive cushioning, while pops of yellow traction underfoot add grip and visual contrast.
