A Bathing Ape Baby Milo Bapesta
The ever-popular A Bathing Ape Bapesta is coming out in a new Baby Milo model. These shoes feature patent leather and interesting patterns to create a unique looking shoe. The Baby Milo Bapesta will be available in three different colorways - Green, Blue and Pink, all great shades for spring.
This shoe and coordinating apparel will be released on Saturday at the A Bathing Ape store in Hong Kong. The green version looks more fitting for St. Patrick’s Day, but I think it’s the best looking of the bunch. Combining green with brown and other earth tones, this shoe will definitely get some attention from Bapesta lovers. Via Hypebeast

A Bathing Ape - Stripe Bapesta
A Bathing Ape released four new stripe bapesta colorways that are sure to be a head with Bape-heads around the world. While each colorway is extremely unique, each is obviously A Bathing Ape shoe that will no doubt stand out from the crowd.
The most laidback colorway is the silver and gold version. With silver being it’s main color, it uses gold just to added some sparkle to the shoe. The gold and silver colorway is similar but it relies much more heavily on the gold.
The black and silver colorway is extremely flashy looking. If you rock these kicks, it’ll look like you have polka dots fighting with zebras on your feet. However, if you really want to make a statement, the black and gold stripe bapestas are sure to cause some stares. My favorite is the silver/gold version because it’s subtle. But it all depends on how much flair you dare to wear on your feet. Available now at Cliffedge. Via HypeBeast.

A Bathing Ape - Bapesta 88
A new sneaker style is being released from A Bathing Ape as part of their Spring/Summer 2008 collection. The Bapesta 88 is a classic Hi-Top that features old school styling rather than a mod look.
This sneaker is being released in white, black, brown, navy and red colorways. The shoes are simple, yet different than most new styles you see on the market right now. They feature a stitched leather upper with a safari-like print used in the trim and toe.
The Bape shooting star logo covers the back of the heel, plus a small version of the logo is on the toe. I prefer the all white version or the black/white colorway pictured above. However, they are all similar - so it will just depend on your personal color preference.
These are available at Bape retailers now. You can get them at Cliff Edge for about $320.

Bapesta Mid “Classic Boots” Pack
Back in the day, A Bathing Ape started the whole limited edition sneaker craze. They also were some of the first to use wild colors and material in their kicks.
Now they have released the Bapesta Mid in three classic, simple colorways - beige, black and red/brown. These sneakers feature premium leather and the colorways are what you would normally see in boots. They even have boot laces.
You can get these shoes from Japanese store, Cliff Edge. The red/brown pair are 23,800 yen (~ $208 USD), while the other two colorways are 24,990 yen (~ $219 USD).
All three colors also come in a low version for 22890 yen (~ $201 USD).
I am particularly fond of the beige Mids, but all three colors are sweet. These shoes are a great option for winter.

Bape Road Stas - Solid Leather

ÂÂ
Instead of bright colors in patent and prints, this time A Bathing Ape (Bape) has decided to release some straight up leather shoes in solid muted colors.
These kicks would make a great option for a casual shoe, that can also be worn for a little more dressy occasion. The three colors are fairly neutral and should work with most any wardrobe.
I personally like these much better than the wild patent leather colorways of most Bape shoes, but I don’t know if these will be big sellers. Look for them to be released within the next month or so.

Ladies APEE Ape Bapestas


A Bathing Apes ladies line-APEE-will be releasing these two new colorways soon. Both pairs are full patent leather and have the pastel colorways in blue and pink. They seem pretty simple and no great Bapes design or colors. Sorry ladies…
Ape Bapesta ‘Fanta Grape’

“Fanta Fanta, Don’t you wanna, Fanta Fanta” I never could stand those commercials and I don’t think I can stand these Bapes kicks. A Bathing Ape will be dropping these Bapestas, the “Fanta Grape”, this October in Japan. As you can guess the colorway is based on the Fanta softdrink. I hope these don’t make their way to the States.
Upcoming Roadstas


We have seen a lot from Bathing Apes the last couple of months. Here are some more Bape Roadstas from them. The first has a blue/pink/yellow colorway, all in pastel. The second is a multi-colored Roadsta. Find these in the Hong Kong Bapes store or in other retailers.
