Japanese streetwear staples and all-caps connoisseurs BAPE and NEIGHBORHOOD have been dominating the collaborative front with a number of coveted offerings over the past few months. It’s only right then, that the two team up with adidas Originals and the classic Superstar silhouette for a fresh revamp sure to be one of the more sought after releases of February 2017.
The BAPE x NEIGHBORHOOD x adidas Superstar isn’t just any old retro adidas offering with name brands slapped on to added effect either, but a completely retooled adidas Superstar Boost featuring a modernized upper complete with a slip-on construction, an adidas NMD-inspired heel, and a retooled midsole featuring additional Boost technology that shows through on the medial side’s midsole arch.
The knit upper looks like the three stripe’s new circular knit technology championed on the adidas Pure Boost model while a bolstered hairy suede contrasts leading into the traditional shell-toe. It’s the perfect combination of both old and new. Expect the BAPE x NEIGHBORHOOD x adidas Superstar Boost to release at limited retailers on February 4th, 2017. More photos below.
