The folks at BAIT are no stranger to the collaboration game being as this is not the first time they have teamed up with Hasbro (G.I. Joe) and New Balance for a collaboration. The last time these three came together for a collaboration they dropped one inspired by Roadblock and Cobra Commander. So what better way to celebrate 3 years as a brand and company than then revisiting a theme they are very familiar with for another round. The upcoming Bait x G.I. Joe x New Balance 580 ‘Arashikage’ Pack features two sneakers with their own respective colorways which are inspired by Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes.
Check out what BAIT had to say about the collaboration, the detailed pictures and release details then down in the comments let us know your thoughts, will they be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
BAIT is back again with Hasbro’s GIJOE and New Balance to incarnate Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes into the classic MT 580 model. The rivalry within the Arashikage clan is split between the all lush off-white suede upper on the Storm Shadows and the beautiful combinations of Black textures on the Snake Eyes. The MT 580 “Storm Shadow” features subtle heat-debossed tonal branding, while the midsole is hit with a vivid red gradation and speckles to depict blood spray. The leather lining is also splattered with blood as the all iced outsole reveals Storm Shadow’s signature camouflage.The “Snake Eyes” combine several different textures of black with ripstop nylon, wolverine suede, rich box leather, and reflective 3M. The Arashikage Red is implemented across the shoe with the stitchings, branding, and the classic RollBar of the MT 580. Both designs feature the iconic Arashikage symbol on the lace locks and heels.
To celebrate the 3 year anniversary of BAIT, this 3 way collaboration pack is a global exclusive to BAIT and releases on October 10th, 2015 in all 7 BAIT chapter stores and BAITme.com for $160 each. Very limited pairs will be released. Register HERE to enter the online raffle to purchase
