The base of the sneaker references its monochromatic origin when it made its initial debut. It is constructed with [white buffed leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-sta) materials at the base and encourages creative design with the personable interchanging design at the side of the sneaker. It offers a set of velcro star emblem patches that can be stuck onto the back of the midfoot area in a variety of different iridescent colors. The patchwork captures bright shades of green in either patent leather finishes or a matte leather completion. This is rounded out with printed insoles and embroidered accents.
