Regal Shoes x Mr. Bathing Ape Wing Sta Elevates Class Beautifully
References: endclothing & freshnessmag
For the past couple months, Bape has dipped their toes in formal wear by producing impressive pieces which include the likes of the Regal Shoes x Mr. Bathing Ape Wing Sta.
First thing I should point out is the perforated star insignia because most will recognize it from Bape's Wing Sta trainers. Now the brand has moved that exact same design onto a classy pair of brogues that's fit for the gentleman while maintaining a slight street aesthetic. The upper is constructed from premium calf skin leather, full glove leather lining, punched brogue detailing and the aforementioned perforated Bapesta Star. Finishing off the rest of the Regal Shoes x Mr Bathing Ape Wing Sta is the leather sole and a gold Regal logo imprinted on the inside of the shoe.
