The collaboration between CLOT and A BATHING APE is rekindled as they unveil two special BAPESTA sneakers – “Trial Camo” and “Digital Camo”. These sneakers will be the highlight of their upcoming joint collection. This partnership combines distinctive visual styles from both labels: the iconic camouflage design by BAPE, and the Alienegra pattern, a signature creation from CLOT, initially introduced in 2005 by Edison Chen, MADSAKI, and Kazuki Kuraishi.

As a gamer, I’d say these kicks are rocking the classic BAPESTA shape, complete with white soles, intricate lace work, and branded tongue tags. The way CLOT’s Alienegra overlays the camo pattern in harmonious tones creates a stunning visual depth. Each pair stands out on its own, yet they all share a unified design aesthetic.

Instead of the “Trial Camo” pair, you could say this pair adopts a muted Black/Gray-White color scheme, which provides an intricate texture and gives it a discreet, adaptable appearance with a strong visual impact.

Instead, the “Digital Camouflage” model exudes vibrancy and modernity. Its upper layer boasts a pixelated pattern of green and white, which amplifies the digital vibe and gives an illusion of movement and dimension throughout its entirety.

The essential aspects of the design stay harmonious in both sets, demonstrating the cohesion of their joint project. The branding is divided, showing up on the tongue labels and metallic lace charms, with the BAPE logo on one shoe and CLOT on the other. The emblematic heel logos carry on the dual story, reading “CLOT STA” on one and “BAPESTA” on the other, symbolically blending their identities. White star emblems on the sidewalls, along with matching white midsoles, provide a clear visual reference point amidst the complex designs.

This double launch signifies more than just a design partnership; it’s a cultural bonding between two of Asia’s strongest influencers in the streetwear scene. The debut of both designs is set for July 26.
