Japanese brand, A Bathing Ape or BAPE & the sky rocketing brand, Adidas Original shook the world with their upcoming NMD shoe. Today, we are able to get a look at their new capsule collection for the Fall/Winter season.

Not only does it include the BAPe x Adidas NMD’s, it also include apparel.  The popular brands put together a mixture of the two in the apparel. BAPE will have their legendary camouflage print cover the Firebird Bird Jacket, with Adidas infamous logo and 3 stripes on the sleeves. Also, there will be the ID96 down jacket that will include the signature BAPE full-zip-up.

The shoe features two color-ways, with the NMD_R1 silhouette, but not the usual prime-knit texture. The two shoes will both have Bape’s signature camouflage, one pair green and the other, black. The green camo will have colored NMD tabs, while the black camo will have black tabs. Both shoes will have the white three-stripes detailing and white Boost soles.

This is certainly another great look for both brands. They already had the web-world going crazy for the shoe collab and now there’s some fresh gear to go with it.

The BAPE x Adidas Originals collection will release globally November 26th at select Adidas Orginal retailers. This goes for both online and in store .

You would think that Adidas NMD’s couldn’t get any better, after all these dope sell-out releases. Now, three stripes teams up with the urban, Japanese clothing brand, Bape.

The collaboration was just a rumor for some time, but now it has officially been confirmed by Adidas. The pictures of the two different color-ways have been circulating the internet for some days now. Since pictures have surfaced, this will definitely be a very big NMD release. The shoe features two color-ways, with the NMD_R1 silhouette, but not the usual prime-knit texture. The two shoes will both have Bape’s signature camouflage, one pair green and the other, black. The green camo will have colored NMD tabs, while the black camo will have black tabs. Both shoes will have the white three-stripes detailing and white Boost soles.

Supposedly this collaboration should be dropping in some weeks. The German sportswear company and the Japanese urban brand are certainly looking at an instant sell-out release.

Adidas NMD also released the their first color-way with fashion icon and multi-talented, Pharrell Williams. He recently dropped his “Human Race,” sneaker, which sold out pretty quickly. Adidas isn’t playing games with their latest releases; they are continuously on the rise!

I recently had the pleasure of chopping it up with Harlem’s pop expressionist artist Justin West (formally known as Jay West). From Renaissance influences to old school cartoons, he can literally do it all and is definitely one of the most important visual artists of are time. You may have seen him on HYPEBEAST or may have spotted him discussing his influences with Sprite, but he is far more than what meets the eye. Not only is Jay West responsible for doing the artwork behind A$AP Rocky‘s videos like “Peso” and “Purple Swag” but has also made many contributions (along with our trap lord A$AP Ferg) to the beloved and highly respected Bape . Whether you’ve been able to witness his creative work yet or not, he is definitely a force to be reckon with and I got the interview to prove it . Be sure to check out the recap of his latest solo exhibition in Seattle below as well as what he’s bringing to table, his upbringing with A$AP Ferg, and what he has coming up next all at my blog Everything Boisterous.

It’s been ten years since the now iconic Bape clothing line took flight, putting the streetwear game in a chokehold, for the most part. Last night in New York, the brand celebrated with a with a party that included a few notable names like Pusha T and Travi$ Scott, who can be seen in this clip performing his banger “Upper Echelon”.
