Bape made an extremely important impact on fashion in the early 2000’s with its large colorful designs and specifically the shoes. Bapestas are a take on what was once a popular yet bland Nike Air Force one, Nigo (the creator of Bape) decided to essentially make his own, wilder interpretation of Airforces with a shooting Bape “Sta” and wild materials and vibrant colors. This led companies including Nike to begin pushing the boundaries of the designs and colors for their shoes. This pair is a remarkable condition pair of patent “Chompstas”, designer by Kaws in one of his great collaborations with Nigo, a slightly changed upper that still resembles a Bapesta featuring teeth designs on the toe box. Most pairs have sustained heavy use and damage over the years, but this pair has minor creasing and what seems like almost no sole use with most stars intact! A very rare site to see.
