No G.I. Joe story is complete with telling the story of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow and their rivalry within the Arashikage clan. Thankfully, BAIT offers that up in sneaker form with the help of this official partnership with New Balance and Hasbro Entertainment that we’ve seen come to life in the two previous BAIT collaborations. At the center of this story is the MT580 in two distinct colorways that represent the iconic Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow characters of the G.I. Joe universe; the Snake Eyes pair is adorned in a predominantly black upper with rugged rip-stop nylons and suedes, while the Storm Shadow features a light grey upper with a red/white gradient effect on the midsole. The folks at BAIT always come through with these subtle details, so we’re not surprised that this duet comes with an incredible BAIT x G.I. Joe Arashikage Tactical Assault Bag (free with purchase of both pairs, or $80 for standalone purchase). As a celebration of the store’s 3-year anniversary, both pairs of the MT580s are exclusive to BAIT stores, so if you have hopes in purchasing online, enter their online raffle to secure yourself a pair.
