Wonderwall has unveiled pictures behind the work they recently did for the renovation of Tokyo’s APC Daikanyama Homme. The reason behind Wonderwall’s success is perhaps its consistently innovative architectural designs. The raw unfinished fixtures are balanced with the light hardwood floors providing a pleasant shopping experience. Each room provides a different theme and story with the gateway to the store coming in the form of a garden.

The latest Bapesta’s from Bape have released and are featured in colorways similar to boot favorites like Timberland and Red Wings. In some ways, its a reversal of roles between Nike and Bape, while Bape used to drop hideous patent colorways, Nike was pretty low key and conservative. It must absolutely be noted that if it wasn’t for the Bapesta we wouldn’t ever have been graced with the musical prowess of Soulja Boy. Available now at Cliffedge.
