The BAPE x adidas Dame 9 Better Scarlet is a stunning collaboration between iconic streetwear brand A Bathing Ape (BAPE) and renowned sportswear giant adidas. Bringing Damian Lillard’s ninth signature basketball shoe to life, this partnership fuses performance technology with BAPE’s unmistakable aesthetic. The shoe comes in a striking red colorway called “Better Scarlet” that is adorned with BAPE’s infamous camouflage pattern. This eye-catching design is complemented by BAPE’s signature shark graphic that surrounds the heel and bottom of the sneaker, adding a bold and fierce element that is in keeping with the ethos of both brands. The usual adidas three stripes on the side keep the design anchored in its athletic roots while also providing brand recognition. Alongside its eye-catching appearance, the BAPE x adidas Dame 9 Better Scarlet offers advanced performance features tailored for elite basketball. The shoe is designed with a lightweight mesh upper to enhance breathability and ensure athletes stay cool during intense matches. The cushioning system includes adidas’ innovative Lightstrike technology, which provides responsiveness and support without adding weight. This ensures players can maintain their agility and momentum on the court. The rubber outsole is designed for excellent traction, helping athletes perform quick cuts and changes of direction with confidence. Overall, this collaboration not only represents a marriage of style and functionality, but also highlights the best that BAPE and adidas have to offer in terms of innovation and design.
