x A Bathing Ape Reversible Shark Hoodie

The adidas x A Bathing Ape Reversible Shark Hoodie in Collegiate Purple is a reversible hoodie created in collaboration between adidas Originals and BAPE. The design features a loose, oversized silhouette and a distinctly athletic style, while incorporating one of BAPE’s most recognizable motifs: the Shark hood. The entire piece is rendered in the Collegiate Purple colorway, which effectively highlights the camouflage pattern and contrasting details. The hoodie is made from recycled polyester and features a mesh construction. It has a full-length zipper, a roomy hood, and a loose fit, giving it the feel of a sporty warm-up hoodie. The fabric is lightweight, and the design relies more on technical mesh than on classic, heavy sweatshirt fabric. The most important feature of the adidas x A Bathing Ape Reversible Shark Hoodie is its reversible design. One side features the purple BAPE COLOR CAMO pattern, while the hood is adorned with a tonal Shark Face graphic. When the hoodie is flipped inside out, the full STA pattern appears, meaning the design changes not only the color scheme but also the entire graphic layout. Loose sleeves, a roomy body, and a full-length zipper emphasize the design’s sporty silhouette, while the elaborate print remains the central visual element. Instead of large, standalone logos, the hoodie features motifs characteristic of BAPE that cover most of the surface and more strongly highlight the nature of the collaboration with adidas Originals. The adidas x A Bathing Ape Reversible Shark Hoodie Collegiate Purple stands out primarily for its combination of a reversible design, technical mesh, and recognizable BAPE motifs. The purple camouflage, Shark hood, and STA pattern on the other side mean that a single model offers two distinctly different looks.
