adidas and BAPE are bringing their latest collaboration to basketball, with a November 7 release led by the Crazy Energy+ and a campaign starring Jalen Williams. The official announcement, issued November 2, draws on the court and streetwear culture of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The performance basketball shoe gets an all-over metallic silver camouflage treatment, a knitted WGM lace overlay and two interchangeable lace options. WGM stands for World Gone Mad, a phrase that also runs through the clothing.
Purple camouflage connects the wider collection. A black varsity jacket pairs purple accents with gold studs and a chenille back graphic, while a reversible mesh hoodie and Adibreak track pants extend the coordinated look. A warm-up top, BABY MILO tee, reversible beanie and basketball bag complete the range.
The collection puts a current basketball silhouette inside BAPE’s recognizable visual world. With Williams fronting the campaign, the footwear and clothing share an athlete-led identity that moves between playing and dressing.
The release will be available through adidas CONFIRMED, selected retailers, BAPE STORE locations and BAPE.COM.
