Adidas Originals and Japanese streetwear giant BAPE® have reignited their longstanding partnership with the introduction of the Superstar Pack, set to release on April 5, 2025. This collaboration pays homage to their initial 2003 “Super Ape Star” sneaker, blending Adidas’ classic design elements with BAPE® ‘s distinctive streetwear aesthetics.
The Superstar Pack features two unique colorways. The first showcases a crisp white leather upper adorned with black accents, while the second boasts a vibrant blue upper complemented by white details. Both designs are enriched with debossed BAPE® camo patterns throughout the leather uppers, adding a textured depth to the sneakers. Additional features include gold BAPE® branding, custom lace dubraes, and the iconic shell toe construction, preserving the classic Superstar silhouette.

In a nod to their shared heritage, the sneakers incorporate split branding on the midfoot. The lateral side of the right shoe features BAPE®’s star logo, while the medial side displays Adidas’ Three Stripes. This arrangement is mirrored on the left shoe, symbolizing the seamless fusion of both brands’ identities. Golden accents on the lace aglets, BAPE® Ape head, and “A Bathing Ape” text further elevate the design, while a cream midsole and outsole complete the look.
The BAPE® x Adidas Superstar Pack will be available for purchase through Adidas’ CONFIRMED app, select retailers, and BAPE.COM. Sneaker enthusiasts can look forward to securing these exclusive pairs starting April 5th.
