Bape is getting ready for the winter with the latest 'A Bathing Ape' Mountain Soldier Boots.
From the looks of it, the 'A Bathing Ape' Mountain Soldier Boots stick with a classic look that’s simple, but stylish. The overall style relies on contrasting colors throughout different sections of the footwear and so far, it works well. The upper sticks with one tone and is contrasted by the slick leather tongue and the black and white laces, which are a recurring theme in each colorway. Bape has also added metallic eyelets and a detailed leather stitching around the sole.
The 'A Bathing Ape' Mountain Soldier Boots will be available in either leather or suede with three colorways to choose from.
