[Update 9 Nov 2023] Shortly after the announcement of the “Cloud White” colorway, Sole Retriever’s teased a “Core Black/Gold Metallic” alternate. As stated in the original article, both pairs will be released on 18 November. Till then, stay tuned for more images and an update on their price points! 

BAPE and adidas are back at it together again. As part of BAPE’s ongoing 30th anniversary celebrations and their 20-year partnership with the Three Stripes, the duo have put out an extensive collection of sneakers throughout 2023, with the most recent being a Stan Smith Golf. Before the year officially ends, BAPE and adidas have lined up yet another collaborative Stan Smith, coming in a “Cloud White” iteration.

The new BAPE x adidas Stan Smith “Cloud White” keeps things simple for the most part. But upon closer inspection, you’ll start to notice BAPE’s signature motifs all throughout the sneaker. The upper comes in a camouflaged print signature to the streetwear label, while a more direct and louder version envelops the heel tab.

Elsewhere, co-branding efforts can be found in glittering gold throughout the sneaker, most evidently on the tongue label, “STAN SMITH” engraving on the medial, as well as a BAPE-branded 30th anniversary dubrae. The design is rounded off with an in-vogue sail treatment on the sole unit underfoot.
