Andrew Rizzo For adidas, the rise of soccer fashion has affected more than just the brand’s stable of terrace classics. True soccer boots have gotten shine thanks to the Three Stripes’ rolodex of collaborative partners, including a capsule by KITH, upcoming 2026 drop by Wales Bonner, and now two styles by BAPE set to release in the very near future.
The mini-capsule hones in on two of adidas’ most iconic boot franchises, starting with a Predator Elite FT Firm Ground featuring BAPE’s unmistakable “Camo Shark” livery. White and red shark teeth hide behind gold stripes on the lateral side, followed by a camo pattern that includes hidden BAPE gorillas. More recognizable BAPE iconography appears on the insoles, with the left featuring a lowercase a-shaped tiger and right hosting the brand’s “World Gone Mad” varsity patches. The gorilla makes another appearance on the right tongue in gold, while a white elastic band reads the full “A BATHING APE” name.
The other half of the delivery sees pink and light blue BAPE camo drape adidas F50 Elite Firm Ground. A natural transition from pink to blue occurs right around the quarter, complemented by mismatched tongues and the same branded insoles seen on the Predator. Fittingly, each sneaker is accompanied by a matching BAPE camo soccer kit.
Both BAPE x adidas soccer boots release September 6th via CONFIRMED, adidas stores, adidas.com, select adidas retail partners, and bape.com. See official images below if you’re considering copping.
