A Bathing Ape (Bape) and New Balance will once again merge the world of streetwear and sportswear with their latest sneaker collab.
After delivering a pair of 2002R styles in May 2021, the legendary streetwear label and the Boston-based sportswear brand have come together in summer ’22 to deliver a new set of 57/40 collabs before week’s end.
This latest series of Bape x New Balance 57/40 styles will be available in three colorways including in multicolor, green, or gray makeups. The shoes feature a mesh-based upper and is coupled with premium suede overlay panels. Co-branding is printed on the tongue tag while Bape’s iconic camo print is stamped on the “N” logo on the midfoot. Completing the look is “A Bathing Ape” branding stamped on the heel counter while a two-tone midsole and a gray outsole complete the look.
