Matt Varga adidas Basketball and BSTN have been wrapped up in an effort to celebrate European hoops for over 2 years at this point, revisiting the concept just days ago by spotlighting FC Bayern Munich. While we were certainly impressed with that Centennial RM offering, evidently the two partners aren’t done just yet. Two new pairs, a Dame 9 and a Crazy 8 Low, ode to German club as a part of the just-unveiled “Garden” capsule.
The choice of Bayern Munich at this particular time is strategic, as their new home venue opens its doors just days before the EuroLeague’s October 2nd tip-off. The SAP Garden lends this collection its name, but you’ll have to look to on-court wear for its aesthetic inspirations. The team’s third kits pay homage to the native Wall Lizard with all-over reptile print, an eye-catching detail that correspondingly peeks through the slits on the Dame 9.
The Crazy 8 Low instead takes to more tonal fare, embracing luxury design language with its mix of mesh & suede while delivering FC Bayern Munich’s colors on the tongue. Across both pairs, the BSTN “sparkle insignia” appears proudly stamped at the toe.
Though the adidas Crazy 8 Low will remain a F&F exclusive, the BTSN adidas Dame 9 “Garden” will drop publically, first at an exclusive BTSN launch on September 28th. Look for the pair getting a wider launch on September 30th.
