Jovani Hernandez A BATHING APE (BAPE) may no longer be helmed by the legendary NIGO®, but it continues to deliver the bold, compelling styles it infiltrated the streetwear scene with throughout the 1990s and 2000s. And while dozens of apparel items and in-line footwear continue to indulge in signature arrangements, the Japanese institution has lent a multi-color camouflage pattern to the iconic Reebok Instapump Fury OG.
Unveiled alongside a Club C silhouette as part of an expansive Spring/Summer 2022 collection, the upcoming sneakers deliver an eye-catching outfit to an already-statement-making design (courtesy of the legendary Steven Smith). Overlays across the profiles of both right and left shoes indulge in either green or blue camo patterns, which have famously appeared on BAPE’s zip-up hooded sweaters; accompanying mesh baes and other textile panels, then, inject orange, red, off-white, brown and purple flair into the mix. The model’s PUMP components are re-branded with the streetwear label’s famous ape head, while heels feature embroidered “BAPE STA” logos (Reebok‘s vector branding doubling as the “A” in the first part of the branding hit). Down under, sole units opt for a tried-and-proven white and black color combination, which may change on future collaborations between both parties.
Enjoy detailed images of the shoes here below, and anticipate a BAPE release on January 15th, followed by a Reebok.com launch on January 21st.
In related sneaker news, the Reebok Question Mid is set to take over the summer in a handful of styles.
