Expanding on its range of footwear, the Japanese streetwear label released a fresh series of BAPE sneakers. Two different silhouettes are available to consumers, one being the 'Shark SLIP-ON' and the other being the '1st Camo Shark YANK STA M1.'
The BAPE sneakers feature the brand's name boldly on the back of the heels as well and the shark design is shown differently on both models. While the SLIP-ONs are decorated with the jagged teeth and eyes on the upper, the other shows the monstrous being on the sides of the upper as well as on the toes.
In addition to the different models, consumers can also pick up the BAPE sneakers in a number of colorways, including red, black navy and two different types of camouflage.
