Animal Collector Kicks

The Ambush & Bape 'Animal Pack' is a Safari for Your Shoe Closet

I really want to go to the zoo after checking out the Ambush & Bape 'Animal Pack' sneakers. Japanese jewelry manufacturer Ambush and clothing company Bape have been collaborating for some time now, but the results have never looked this wild.

The Ambush & Bape 'Animal Pack' is modeled on the Bape Creepsta Low and features the 'skins' of several different animals. Personally, I'd love to rock zebra skin shoes, but I think PETA and the rest of humanity would lose their collective minds if I did.
