As part of their 2008 Summer collection, Bape came out with some nice, plain flip flops. They come in black, red, blue, and brown, all with gold Bapesta logos printed in different sizes. Rock these to the beach and summer BBQs to attract all the right attention.
Bape’s whole color palette on the whole hasn’t necessarily regressed back into a shadow of its former self with less and less bold colors being used, however we have definitely noticed a distinct use of more subtle creations. For a brand who was often characterized by multi-colored releases, these Roadstas are a far cry from the loud colors of the past which offer a good balance in the product range which relies on the use of tonal colors.
Look for a wealth of new items to release later this week at Bape Hong Kong. The same Bape staple of print t-shirts will also be accompanied by a small release of accessories, bottoms and the Low Jack Three CD. Available this Saturday at Bape Hong Kong.

Bape just released a new pair of shoes for the summer. These are definitely unique, looking like a combination of sneakers and sandals. The shoe comes in the usual bright Bape colors and patterns with blue stripes and red polka dots, and a yellow Bapesta logo on the sides. A great release for the hot, summer times so you can cool your feet but still fool people thinking you’re wearing sneakers. Available now at Cliffedge.
As part of Bape’s member exclusive Nigo’s Favorite Shop, the special collection has often yielded some interesting and sought after releases. Continuing with a theme originally released a few months back, SpongeBob Square Pants makes another return alongside Baby Milo in the t-shirt seen here. Availability is restricted to NFS members only.

In this latest release set for the weekend at Bape Hong Kong, look for an assortment of tees to drop. Ranging from rather childish renditions of Baby Milo, to more iconic uses of camo, a diverse range is available starting this Saturday.

The Tracksta is the latest entry into Bape’s footwear department. Taking a page out of the Nike Air Stab’s design, the Tracksta features a low-profile shape. By Bape’s standards, these original colorways are pretty tame. Look for these to hit Bape Stores in the near future.
Here’s the latest from Bape set to release this weekend at Bape Hong Kong. For those unsold on the Shark hoodie, another t-shirt version has become available incorporating Baby Milo.
