adidas OrketroBape Dark Purple

Product Description

The adidas Orketro Bape Dark Purple is a hybrid athletic sneaker lifestyle shoe. The burgundy mesh upper is overlaid with Dark Purple synthetic patent leather, which displays the Bape star motif, accented by the A Bathing Ape logo. The sizable midsole and outsole unit pops against the upper in a blend of Cloud White, Dark Purple, Core Black, and Maroon. The final touch is asymmetrical tongue branding, alternating adidas and Bape logos on the left and right.

As Europe’s largest sportswear manufacturer, Germany’s adidas is well known throughout the globe, and their commitment to producing classic shoes decade after decade is revered by the world. With such time-honored heritage, it’s not surprising that adidas collaborated with Japanese streetwear mainstay Bape, or A Bathing Ape, which was founded in the 1990s. The resulting progeny is the Orketro, a style that defies categorization.

In our opinion, the best feature of the adidas Bape Orketro is its branding, which is both subtle and evocative. The adidas Orketro Bape Dark Purple was released on November 23, 2024, and retailed at $150.
