One sneaker brand that yuou don't see as much of in the streets these days is A Bathing Ape (BAPE). 7 years ago, BAPES were all the rage and you could catch anyone from Jay-Z to the cashier at your local bodega rocking a pair of rainbow/patent leather BAPE sneakers. As what happens with any trend, the US BAPE phenomenon begin to fade out around 2006/2007 for the latecomers. The funny thing about it is BAPE has been around for a good 15 years or so and was doing numbers in the far east and Europe waaaaaaaay before the US got up on game. All that being said, BAPE is dropping some new flavors of their flagship sneaker (the Bapesta) this fall. The new editions feature some nice F/W colorways sans the patent leather. Mr. MA$ just might have to hit the BAPE store in Money Making and scoop up one of these colorways, cuz their looking fresh!!!
