As A Bathing Ape shifts their attention from one season to another, they release the Skullsta in three new colorways. The Skullsta takes cues from adidas’ shell toe sneakers, but includes A Bathing Ape’s modifications as they have done in the past with Nike and Puma sneakers. However, you won’t find the three stripes design as you would on a pair of adidas’. Included in the new drop are pastel based color schemes which include green/yellow, pink/green, orange/white. Each sneaker features a full colored upper except for the star logo which features the secondary color. Lastly, the Skullsta comes with fat laces to complete the throwback look. Now available online at Bape.

The apocalypse is upon us! Bape recently announced that they’d be opening up an online webstore, where presumably, you can go to purchase the latest from Nigo’s ultra-limited, overdesigned products at exorbitant prices. Bathing Ape pundits add that the independent company might be struggling to stay afloat in these times of economic struggle–what do you think? Is the digital store a calculated move, an attempt at maximizing profits in a time of financial downturn or has the brand finally decided to aid customers looking for product? Either way, I’m still wearing my FAPE “Ape Shall Not Kill Ape” polos I scooped on the ‘net from Taiwan. Via hs.

In 2008, Bape released a Spongebob-themed version of the Bapesta. World-renowned Hypebeast Pharrell Williams was just spotted with an unreleased Squarepants version that features a croc leather upper and gum bottom. It’s more than likely that Pharrell’s pair of A Bathing Ape Croc SpongeBob Bapestas will never hit shelves. Via BBC.

While the Nike Air Force 1 has played a huge part of the success of A Bathing Ape even causing quite a bit of controversy, the brand has also taking cues from other iconic sneakers including the adidas Superstar.

The Skullsta is now available in white/black, black/white and white/white and will be available soon at Bape locations. Via hb.
