BAPE and Vans are two brands that are no strangers to one another and continue to grow their ongoing partnership with two silhouettes: the Old Skoola and the Sk8-Mid shoes. The skate shoes are adorned with the iconic Cloud Camo print by the streetwear giant. The brands deliver a bold statement and celebrate a retro aesthetic that incorporates BAPE's signature design language.
Starting with a look at the Old Skool, the Japanese brand adorns the shoes with the camo pattern over the quarter panels and continues with a vulcanized rubber design with BAPE's Shark motif detailing the forefoot. Followed by the Sk8-Mid, it is crafted with the classic green camo made from canvas and the iconic Sidestripe integrates BAPE's STA logo.
