The new BAPE Longwing Brogue, which was designed in collaboration with the Japanese footwear label REGAL, is arguably the nicest shoe from the company's current collection. The shoe was inspired by BAPE's original brogue and features the company's logo, a shooting star that is similar to the star of the Converse brand, on the side panel.
The new BAPE Longwing Brogue is made from 100 percent genuine leather, with an "eye-catching black and white colorway" and thin leather sole. The shoe has a very shiny and polished looking finish, making the shoe ideal for a dress-up look. The BAPE Longwing Brogue is certainly a high-ticket item, as each pair of shoes will set you back $900. The shoes are available for purchase through I.T Hysan, located in Hong Kong.
