Two of streetwear’s most iconic brands united with adidas for one of 2026’s first major collaborative releases. The CLOT x BAPE x adidas Superstar combined the signature aesthetics of both brands with adidas’s legendary shell-toe silhouette, resulting in a sneaker that was equal parts collector’s item and cultural statement.
Premium materials and co-branding throughout made the shoe immediately recognizable, with each detail reflecting the design languages of both CLOT and A Bathing Ape. The collaboration launched globally and sold out almost immediately at retail.
The CLOT x BAPE x adidas Superstar retailed at $220 and released January 1, 2026. Current market pricing is available on major resale platforms.
