When I saw these BAPE Shop Color Print Denim pants, I couldn’t help but flash back to the Juicy track suits of yore with the brand name emblazoned across the bum.
That style was never my thing, but those track suits did sell, sell, sell. The BAPE Shop Color Print Denim pants will be available on October 17 with their New York City and Los Angeles flagship stores receiving an exclusive colorway in both a distressed and raw finish.
