Last we saw A Bathing Ape’s Bapesta, it had gone back to experimenting with patent leather, which helped make it famous since the silhouette’s inception. Now, BAPE seems to be trying to once again disallow passers by from staring at your bapestas by draping a set of five of them in foil. The set of five Bapestas come in pink/white, red/white, purple/white, blue/white and copper/white. While the midsoles, shoe laces, and inner lining come in white, the uppers, outsoles and actual BAPE logo on each shoe all come in the pair’s particular foil color. These are set to release from select BAPE retailers soon- dropping from BAPE New York and BAPE Los Angeles this coming Saturday November 21, 2009. Do you like the foil or patent leather pairs better?

A Bathing Ape has released some new colorways for the Bape Roadsta model for the Holiday 2009 season. The Bape Roadsta comes in a simple yet stylish patent pack. Black and white colorways are available in all patent leather uppers; the black pair sports a two-tone black and white colorway, using a black patent upper and white midsole, atop a black outsole. The white pair is totally decked out in white, making its own “all white everything” statement. These Roadstas are available now at your local Bape store.

The Bapesta has been one of A Bathing Ape’s most successful sneaker silhouettes to date; so it makes sense that the brand pay it much due attention. If you recall, the Bapesta recently received a checkered touch to match a series of accessories the brand also just recently dropped. Now, we see two pairs of the Bapesta pictured here using a technique and material that helped the Bapesta become so famous- patent leather. The first pair comes in a common black/grey/white colorway, while the second sports white and different shades of pink. Both of these patent leather pairs of the Bapesta have been made available thanks to select retailers worldwide.

Towards the beginning of this fall season, the Bape brand was setting up to release a low-top URSUS sneaker that resembled a Chuck Taylor silhouette. For this holiday season, two more URSUS releases come in the form of the Bapesta. One Bapesta reminds us of the Yankees colors as it dons a grey/blue upper with white midsole. And the second Bapesta sports a purple/blue upper with white midsole and red outsole. Check out more pix after the jump, and check in with your local Bape retailer as these have already begun to pop up.

A Bathing Ape recently prepared a set of two pairs of the Bapesta in crocodile leather. But a more recent Bape release included a set of checkered accessories. And now, we’re here to bring you a look at the three corresponding pairs of the Bapesta “Check.” All three come with a predominantly white base. What differs from each pair is the color of the checkered Bape logo that runs through the midpanels: brown, black, and green. These are available now at select Bape retailers.

At the end of last month we dropped a Bape bomb by previewing a black patent leather “Black Tiger” Bapesta. That shoe was deemed by many to perhaps be a revitalizing tool for the brand. Now, the brand continues to play around with materials and monotone colorways by having just released two more Bapestas. One pair is white/white, while the second is black/black. However, both sport crocodile leather uppers that can’t help but draw attention. As just mentioned, these have already been made available so visit your local Bape retailer such as the brand’s flagship stores in New York and Los Angeles to get hooked up.

Last we heard about the Bape Five Sta, it had been reworked into a training shoe equipped with style. For the holiday season, the Bape Five Sta returns donning leather uppers this time. We have received word that four new leather Bape Five Sta colorways have released, all of which also sport a hint of reflective 3M material on the toe box. With white midsoles, Bape logos, and shoelaces, which colorway among all-white, brown, purple, and grey would you say takes the cake? Check in with us after the jump for pictures that’ll help you decide just that before visiting your local Bape retailer.
