# Sleek Classic Leather Sneakers BAPE and adidas Join on a New Superstar Sneaker Model By Amy Duong | Published 2022-11-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-sneaker-2 References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/bape-adidas-superstar-2022-release-date-price/) & [bape](https://bape.com/) Iconic Japanese streetwear stalwart BAPE works in collaboration with adidas Originals to design a new iteration of the signature Superstar sneaker model. The two prepare to launch the upcoming shoes on November 10th and it features a minimal look throughout the silhouette. It has a black upper that is marked with white tonal branding accents in the form of both the BAPE STA motif and the Three-Stripes detail for tonal contrast. Additional details include the gilded lace dubrae and co-branding along with the signature shell toe and midsole in order to create a retro theme with off-white colors. The forefoot section of the shoe sees more branding details on the tongue and is rounded out by the black laces.
