BAPE x adidas Forum Low 30th Anniversary Blue

Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, BAPE teams up with long-time partner adidas to transform an ‘80s basketball classic into a Japanese streetwear icon. A Bathing Ape hits rewind once again, this time using its signature camouflage on the Forum, a silhouette that has made a huge return since 2020. While this make-up doesn’t seem unusual when on its cousin the Superstar, this new “Anniversary Blue” edition takes the Forum in a completely new direction, rewinding the tape back to the early 2000s era of collaborations.

Sat atop a classic white midsole, a blue BAPE camouflage cloaks the overlaying panels, with a supple white leather breaking up the heavy print. Unlike the “Green” edition, silver accents highlight the co-branding such as the silver lace dubrae that announces the 30th anniversary and the text written on the strap. A small silver BAPE face logo also hides on the sidewall, along with the abstract faces hidden within the print. Navy accents on the inner lining and 3-Stripes blend nicely within the upper’s blue motif, finished off by a classic set of flat laces that play into the Forum’s usual retro aesthetic.

If you’ve got yourself an assortment of A Bathing Ape hoodies and need a matching pair of kicks then this collaboration is a no-brainer. For more information on when and where to pick up the BAPE x adidas Forum Low 30th Anniversary “Blue”, keep it tuned to The Sole Supplier!
