A Bathing Ape (BAPE) is bringing its iconic streetwear flair to the adidas Orketro, marking the Japanese brand’s first collaboration on a retro runner silhouette. This upcoming drop features three colorways of the 2000s-inspired adidas Orketro, launching on November 15th, as BAPE reimagines the model’s retro-futurist aesthetic with signature touches that make the collaboration instantly recognizable.
Known for taking classic silhouettes like the Superstar and Stan Smith to new heights, BAPE’s latest creation replaces adidas’s three-stripes on the upper with its own iconic shooting star motif, seamlessly blending into the layered design of the Orketro. The sneaker’s multi-paneled construction and futuristic appeal align perfectly with BAPE’s edgy style, offering a distinctive take that will appeal to both brand loyalists and fans of retro-futuristic runners. Further branding appears with BAPE’s gorilla logo on the insole, adding an exclusive touch.
Given the standard Orketro’s MSRP of $160, it’s expected that the BAPE editions could be priced around $200, considering the premium design elements. With this launch on the horizon, fans can anticipate a fresh addition to their collection that bridges classic adidas heritage with BAPE’s unmistakable streetwear influence.
