Bape x adidas Adizero EVO SL Drops June 27 in Bold Mismatched Colorway
Bape and adidas are expanding their Adizero EVO SL collaboration with a second mismatched iteration that pushes the asymmetrical concept further. The new colorway employs a tri-color palette split across each foot, with inverted branding placements that affirm the intentional discord at the heart of the design.

The Japanese streetwear house has established itself as a master of controlled chaos—the A Bathing Ape aesthetic thrives on repetition alongside disruption. This latest Bape x adidas partnership applies that philosophy directly to one of contemporary running's most functional silhouettes, the Adizero EVO SL, a trainer engineered for speed that now becomes a canvas for sartorial tension.
The second colorway marking this collaboration extends the mismatched framework with deliberate asymmetry. The right shoe anchors itself in blue while the left shifts to green, with red accents distributed across both feet. More importantly, Bape's signature three stripes and Sta logo reverse their positioning foot to foot—medial placement on one shoe becomes lateral placement on the other. This isn't careless production; it's structured dissonance.
The Adizero EVO SL itself carries technical credibility within the adidas running catalog, a silhouette designed around responsiveness rather than maximalist cushioning. Pairing it with Bape's graphic sensibility creates an unusual meeting point between performance footwear and streetwear expression. For collectors, the mismatched construction means wearing these requires commitment to the collaborative vision rather than conformity.
