x BAPE Beanie Collegiate Purple

The adidas x BAPE Beanie Collegiate Purple is a reversible beanie created as part of the adidas Originals collaboration with BAPE. The design combines the Japanese brand’s signature camouflage aesthetic with adidas’ classic knit silhouette, giving this simple winter accessory a much more recognizable look. The outer side features BAPE’s signature camo pattern in the Collegiate Purple colorway. The design is complemented by a textured patch and a Trefoil detail, which highlight adidas’ involvement in the project. The camo pattern covers virtually the entire surface, making the pattern and color the beanie’s main visual elements. The most important feature of this model is its reversible design. When flipped inside out, the beanie takes on a more uniform look, with embroidered details replacing the full camo pattern. As a result, the two sides differ not only in color but also in the placement of the branding. The adidas x BAPE Beanie Collegiate Purple is made primarily of 100% acrylic, while the lining is made of polyurethane. The knit fabric features a smooth stitch, which gives the surface an even texture and preserves the classic beanie shape without additional panels or stiff elements. The entire design is based on combining two different finishes in a single accessory. On one side, the BAPE camouflage pattern and prominent branding dominate; on the other, a simpler, solid surface with embroidered details serves as the most important structural element of this particular model.
