Streetwear imprint BAPE introduces new iterations of the signature BAPESTA sneaker -- the new 'Foil' pack features the footwear model in two colorway options. The new tonal iterations come in a silver and gold colorway, highlighted by its reflective elements. To accompany the reflective uppers are some branding details in the form of the shooting star motif representative of BAPE.
There are also BAPESTA branding accents adorning the tongue tab and the heel area. The lacing systems come in matching tonal options and are locked in with BAPE-branded lace locks. All of this sits on top of a white sole unit foundation for a touch of contrasting details. The Foil BAPESTA sneakers are available at select BAPE stocklists including I.T. in Hong Kong.
