BAPE x Adidas Superstar Ripple: Honoring British rave culture

British music culture is a world unto itself. The UK produces endless hits every year and has been the birthplace of many genres throughout history. Adidas has now taken note of this and created a unique Superstar Ripple sneaker with BAPE dedicated to the UK rave club scene.

This way you can quickly stumble upon thick beats and perfect stamps. What else do you want? Well, maybe a matching tracksuit would come in handy. A good mustache and a good mat are also desirable. And complete your rave look with a ‘quick blanka’. These are just a few ideas.

The classic adidas Superstar upper serves as the foundation of this rave sneaker, showcasing its signature shell toe with linear cues. The midsoles are crafted in jet black leather and feature white flame embroidery inspired by rave graphics from the 90s and 2000s.

In addition, adidas’ Three Stripes branding gets a transparent finish, while vibrant trefoil decals adorn the tongues. The insole has a blue hippie pattern. It gives the shoe a little color. Sweet heel tabs, circular adidas logos and ridged rubber sole units complete the dance floor-ready design. You will soon become the undisputed ‘Prince of Darkness’ on the rave dance floor. Ozzy Osbourne would surely be proud.
