Bape‘s forthcoming collaboration on the Adidas Evo SL has drawn rave reviews for its mismatched colorway and incorporation of signature iconography, and a second iteration has now surfaced as the release comes closer.
The Bape x Adidas Evo SL will have another option with blue and green uppers. Whereas the previously seen pair appeared predominantly in white with mismatched detailing, this version uses blue for the base of the right shoe and green for the left. Black star logos alternate on the medial and lateral sides, and they’re further united by red laces, lining and outsole. Each shoe also borrows the primary color from its counterpart in lighter form, i.e. a mint green on the blue shoe and sky blue on the green.
