Michael Le In terms of bootleg sneakers, none can top the OG. A BATHING APE, actioned by NIGO’s own personal whims, brought crazy colors and loud patterns to a form uncannily similar to the Air Force 1. This silhouette, dubbed the BAPE STA, was only the start of a collection soon to grow exponentially — today, inclusive of nods to what seems to be the Dunk Low and High.
This month, we can expect the latter two — dubbed the SK8 STA and BAPE STA 93 — to arrive in brand new colors. The high-top flaunts a look almost sportswear-inspired, mixing together hues of red and black. At its base, dark grey leathers sit not far apart tonally, while the signature star branding clashes in bright white. Elsewhere, atop the low-top counterpart, the logo is offered in three varieties: one identically neutral to the aforementioned, the next bold in red patent, and the last vintage-esque in cream. Their backdrops are equally unique, making use of full ABC camos, grey suedes, and black/white leathers, respectively.
Grab a look at the entire range below and expect to see them at BAPE stores come mid-July.
