Puma and BAPE linked up last year to release a camo-filled collection for Fall/Winter 2015. Now, the brands are teaming up again for a fresh take on the German sportswear brand's silhouettes.

For the third collaboration, Puma and BAPE will release a pair of sneakers and corresponding apparel. The brands will reimagine a Game Shirt and the Puma Ignite running shoe. Both the shirt and the shoe are covered in the Japanese brand's iconic camo, but this time around the pattern gets a bright rainbow colorway. 

The FC BAPE Replica shirt features its signature ape logo on the front, much like the pieces in the previous collection. Puma and BAPE have also tapped Italian Serie A Striker Mario Balotelli again to showcase the new shirt. 

The BAPE x PUMA collection will be available exclusive at BAPE stores in Japan on May 28. Those who are lucky enough to cop the pieces will also take home a poster.
