Wrong Rolex, Visvim’s lame. Never have i seen a brand so shamelessly rip others off and slap on a price tag registering 5 x the OG.

get off nigo’s nuts please. (this should be read in a song like way)…..thank you.

I wish you guys would give bape a break. If supreme rip something off oh that’s ok. If supreme do a god dam Mickey t- shirt that’s super cool. If visvim do elk leather pieces of shit you guys would buy it. Grow up

To answer your question SALVATION Bape does have an original sneaker design, the BAPESTA88 and in a real original colorway red yellow and blue. On second thought they kinda look like those AIR RONNIE’S Ronald McDonald put out a while back.

Does BAPE have one single shoe that isn’t a rip-off of someone else’s design? NIGO is nothing but an overpaid copy cat. These are bootlegs with a fancy name.

90% of the comments on this page = “Hello Captain Obvious!”

it looks EXACTLY like another shoe. isn’t that the whole point of BAPE? like, I could buy some Clydes for $80, but i choose to wear the same looking shoe that costs $300. you and i know that my $300 shoe looks/feels EXACTLY like your $80, but i paid $220 more for mine. Because i can. nigga.

isn’t taking someone else’s design n focusing on wotcha call it, more eyecatching materials n colours still rippin others off?

Has BApe got a single sneaker that isn’t a rip-off of someone else?

Really…. if ur gonna flame the crapes or Bape in general, leave a real reason why u hate them so much.

“Based loosely on the Puma Clyde sneakers”
Rip off and duplicate less, please.

Sorry, Phil, I respect BAPE, and I’m not sure why folks are hating the brand now, (particularly when they were all over it a few years back), but these are clearly a Clyde ripoff.

They did these a long time ago, wasnt new then, isnt new now. Just overpriced sneakers that will never be classic. Bape shit is soooo disposable. Ever see anybody ever rock and old Bape shit? Never have, never will. Its over!

I’ve worked at Puma for 1.5 years and I’ve seen these colorways on either a Clyde or a Suede.

first off nigo stepped down on the designer aspect of bape second of all if bape is biting off of puma then all those who write that this is a knock off in these comment boxes are just biting eachother

More Colors N It Would Be Decent

There is nothing special or eye catching about these PHIL. Puma uses suede and leather and I’m pretty sure they have the same colorways and if not they have hundreds of better ones. I do enjoy some pieces of Bape’s clothing line here and there but shoe wise Bape just seems like any other japenese rip-off, just stealing the signature models from other brands and making them more expensive, thats not innovative at all.

Okay, look.. I’m tired of reading all this Bape-hate on these sneaker blogs. let’s face it, Bape is now, and for a while, will be one of the leading Japanese fasion designers, period. Bape isn’t “biting” off of Puma what so ever, Nigo and his design team are perfectly aware of the fact that people are gonna call these “Crapes” a bite off of Puma Clydes. However, Bape isn’t duplicating Puma, just using thier design and focusing more on eye catching colors and materials, ect. Simplicity IS fasion. Much love to Bape, the Crapes are dope.

They called it the “Crape” which is a fancy word for CRAP

hahaha, ‘based loosely’

COME WITH SOMETHING ORIGINAL!!!!!

im feelin these

I don’t know why hypebeast endorses bape products…
these are the ugliest piece of shit shoes i’ve seen in a while other than DC’s.
and DC is another piece of shit brand.
SO GET OFF BAPE’S JOCK

Crape without the e. Puma Suede wannabes.

Those puma clydes are hot, too bad they have that hideous star from that company that biteds everyone elses hardwork,.mowait.

those laces are pretty big….cool sneaker though.

CLYDE did it better….

lol @ “based loosely” on the clyde. More like a straight up replica

love bape, but not feelin this

in before “Crap” joke

Crape ……. lose the E and you have a word that sums of this Japanese side show

i’m wondering if whoever wrote that description had to stop themselves a few times from typing, “ripped off of the…”, or “the exact silhouette as..”

i mean come ON…

to say “based loosely” is insulting to every person who visits this site. get real. these are clyde rip-offs with the bape star in lieu of the puma stripe…. doesn’t make them bad sneakers, but still come on guys. at least be HONEST about what they are!

based “loosely”….

HAHAHAHHAA

These are the best bape shoes i have seen so far. im not down for these super expensive shoes but if these were reasonable i would get em fo sho.
