The word for this pair is…lovely! We cannot think of any other word to characterize this special pair from Bape. Look at the bright patent leather of the upper, covered with a sparkly coat, the translucent speckled sole, and the word to be added to the “lovely” above is brilliant this time.

The brand Bape is associated with flashiness and bravado, and this design surely lives up to that reputation and the Bape name. There’s of course every reason in the world to condemn excess in favor of elegance, but when in the right hands, even such a difficult to handle concept can be concluded in a perfectly harmonious manner. This is what Bape shows us in this design.

Look at the pair again, and sing your favorite song praising beauty and joy. Once you’re done, you can head to the Bape Chapter Store to cope a pair of these. via HB
