Contemporary streetwear purveyor BAPE debuts two silhouettes of Ghostbusters sneakers to celebrate the film's 35th anniversary. The cinematic fantasy has turned into a cult-favorite as it wins over the audience with its retro aesthetics and entertaining narrative.
The first pair of Ghostbusters sneakers boast a shiny, red upper. The second option features an all-white upper that is accented by a glossy red star. Both footwear offerings are co-branded and feature STA motifs. In addition, they also have a remixed logo on the heel that pays homeage both to Baby Milo and the film.
Aside from the attention-captivating Ghostbusters sneakers, the clothing brand makes a variety of apparel available to consumers. This includes graphic tees, a jumpsuit-inspired jacket, and a key chain.
