Bape x Dr. Martens Saddle Shoes Takes Street Style up a Couple Notches

— June 3, 2011 — Fashion
I've got to give A Bathing Ape some credit for really changing up their style especially with the Bape x Dr. Martens Saddle Shoes. Given the inception of Mr. Bathing Ape, I suppose it's no surprise that the Japanese brand is going for gentlemanly couture. The footwear defines class with a beautifully finished leather upper. What's most attractive is the contrasting tones of dark red, baby blue and white laces that complement one another in perfect harmony. The Bape x Dr. Martens Saddle Shoes may be a departure for Bape fans, but this should convince them that the brand is definitely capable of stretching beyond street wear.

The Bape x Dr. Martens Saddle Shoes are also available in brown and black. The footwear is currently available at Bape Store New York and will be released worldwide on June 3rd, 2011 on the brand's online shop.
