pay no attention to the bape haterz..i love’m
black ones are very clean, and although these look kinda ugly, they look extremely comfortable.
Clown basketball shoes
*edit*
… but its not worth it at nearly 3 times the price of what ever it is theyve “remixed” (the Sorel Caribou, bape red wing 8138 boot and bape tatami birkenstock are great examples)… and i’m about bape camo’d out already
i love bape for their colorways… i hate bape for their lack of originality in ACTUAL design (maybe aside from the fullzip hoodie idea, if that was even done by bape 1st). at first it was a great concept, like a remix of what was out on the streets. for the price you do not get what you pay for in quality, quite the contrary in comparison to what they are copying. their items are just a slight spin off of already staple items (sure you all know this) like the airforce 1, new balance 574, addidas shell toe etc with the bape twist, but no additional additives for the price, like higher end fabrics and stuff… i’m waiting to fall in love with bape again, i love their presence, their atmosphere as a brand… at nearly 3 times the price of what ever it is theyve “remixed” (the Sorel Caribou, bape red wing 8138 boot and bape tatami birkenstock are great examples)… and i’m about bape camo’d out
black ones smokin on fire
I think Bape would be great if they just hired a few good designers to do their shoes and clothes. It could be kind of sick, what do you think?
Not a fan of 88’s but interior looks pretty comfortable.
I have to be honest and say, BAPE really need to step up their game. These dont look good at all.
Man, I really dislike the shape of this shoe.
Black colorway looks fresh as hell.
