BAPE x adidas Debut adidas N BAPE, A Rework of the ’90s Era Norton
Arriving in “Sand” and “Shadow Green” colorways.
BAPE and adidas have been consistently churning out collaborations for the past few years. In February, the two even teamed up for a special 30th-anniversary edition of the adidas Stan Smith, covering the sneaker in BAPE’s distinct ABC camo print.
The brands have now returned with another fresh take on a classic adidas shoe. The adidas N BAPE is a reissue of adidas’ ‘90s-era Norton, a soft skate sneaker with a chunky sole.
For the collaboration, BAPE introduced two new colorways to the Norton: a “Sand” and a “Shadow Green.” The “Sand” features a dark beige body with a green tongue and overlay, as well as the model’s distinct three white stripes.
The “Shadow Green” option, meanwhile, carries the same green color into the body. Both sneakers have a brown midsole with a subtle white BAPE logo, while the adidas trefoil is printed on the tongue. A camo print lines the interior of the shoe.
