Trio BAPESTA OG

The famous silhouette designed by Nigo, the BAPESTA, which celebrated its 20th anniversary throughout 2020, will return in OG colorways in 2021. The benchmark Japanese streetwear brand A Bathing Ape confirmed the re-release of three versions introduced in the early 2000s : Black, White and Olive Green.

The BAPESTA sneaker was born in 2000 and has since symbolized the A Bathing Ape brand. Its « Sta » logo in the a star-shaped on the sides, its wide variety of colors and prints, have made it a real popular success. Inspired by the iconic Nike Air Force 1, this silhouette has conquered famous artists such as Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z and Pusha T. It was the very first shoe produced by Kanye West and was chosen by world-renowned artist KAWS, as well as luxury fashion designer Virgil Abloh, to express their creativity and design exclusive collaborations. This timeless model continues to be regularly honored 20 years after its introduction.

For 2021, BAPE offers us the opportunity to rediscover monochrome iterations. These 3 versions in black, white and olive green are composed of a leather upper with matching overlays and a suede insert, also in tone-on-tone, on the back. The famous star appears in leather on the quarter panel and branding details adorn the tongue label and heel. Waxed laces with metal top eyelets and chrome dubraes complete the design. The whole is based on a vintage midsole in cream color, combined with a matching outsole for the white and olive green versions, and black for the black iteration.

The 3 BAPESTA in black, white and olive green are announced for spring 2021 on the bape.com website, for an approximate price of 220€ per iteration. More release info coming soon, stay tuned !
