BAPE works in collaboration with visual artist Louis De Guzman on a special new iteration of the BAPESTA sneaker model with the new ROADSTA shoes. It takes the iconic silhouette as the base foundation and details it with elements that are true to the artist.
The sneakers are made from leather and suede materials throughout the upper in a muted tonal palette. It is applied in a color-blocking design language and has slight touches of contrast with the application of blue. In addition to the ROADSTA shoes, the duo is also launching a range of apparel and accessories to complement the shoes. This includes graphic tees, pullovers, a towel, and hats that are detailed with his abstract designs and BAPE branding details.
