Oh boy, let me tell you about my recent adventure in the sneaker world. I’ve been eyeing this Adidas x Bape collaboration for a while now. It’s like, the talk of the town among us sneakerheads, you know?
So, I heard rumors about this drop, the BAPE x adidas Orketro Pack, supposed to be on November 23rd. Marked it on my calendar, set alarms, the whole nine yards. I wasn’t going to miss this. I even saw some campaign visuals floating around the internet – pretty cool stuff.
Then there’s this other one, the Adidas ZX-8000, a three-way collab with Undefeated. They dropped it on November 14th, 2020, as far as I know. I managed to get my hands on both the Green and Black pairs. They’ve got Bape’s trademark camo on the mesh parts, paired with suede. Pretty slick, if you ask me.
And don’t even get me started on the BAPE x Adidas Campus 80s ’30th Anniversary’ edition. I spent days researching, trying to figure out the best way to cop these. The Collegiate Navy version was released on April 1st, 2023, and I snagged a pair for $150. I heard they were available through BAPE, Adidas, and the CONFIRMED app. But here’s the thing – it’s all about the strategy, you know? Knowing where and when to look. I spent hours refreshing pages, entered a bunch of raffles.
The online community is a wild place. There’s this subreddit dedicated to Bape, where I spent a good chunk of my time reading through posts, checking out what others were saying. Some folks were debating whether to cop or drop. One guy said, “This isn’t my thing, but respect for liking what you like.” Another one was like, “Can’t beat the R1, pass for me.” I mean, to each their own, right?
Anyway, after all that hustle, I finally got them. It’s not just about having the shoes, it’s about the whole experience. The thrill of the hunt, the community, the stories. It’s like a whole culture. And yeah, I’m definitely that guy who’s all in on this sneaker thing.
