BAPE'S SPRING/SUMMER '21 FOOTWEAR

Skating and retro basketball trends BAPE’s Spring/Summer ’21 Footwear Focuses

In recent years, many started to look back on what the crazy started with the rise (and questionable fall) of the sneaker bootlegs. And one name soon comes to mind at the moment: a bathing ape. The Japanese company, originally built by the living legend NIGO, had made history for the first time with their BAPE STA, an interpretation of Air Force 1. Even after the latter, BAPE has greatly extended its footwear line with so many collaborations. You should expect their largest collection for Spring/Summer 21 in a while, one of the aforementioned and some new models.

First, three separate tonal variations will be performed on the BAPE STA in the new year. Beige, black and white are all built with a combination of leather and metallic hardware with a rear face of the suede. The mark then becomes a little more experimental and introduces several new colors for not just four models. A single Black/Light Gray and Black/Olive can be seen in the BLOCK STA HI which loosely reminds us of the BAPE STA only bigger. The newly introduced Court Sta doubles the influences of basketball and blends the look of AJ1 with the varieties Light Grey and Mist Gray.

The configuration of SK8 STA next to the latter is very similar, which is also shared by both the Air Jordan 1 and the Dunk. However, in the forthcoming releases, the silhouette is bolder as its upper sections loosely follow identical arrangements as Mars Yards, the Wu-Tang Clan, and the original Skunk Dunks. Besides, the STA 93 HI is effectively a high-class alternative protected with the same heel and panel. However, the frame is characterized by an essentially Kanyé-inspired scheme, along with its extra suede additions.
