We have seen a couple previews of some of the upcoming releases from A Bathing Ape lately, including the Bape Skullsta and Roadsta collections. We now have a first look at an upcoming Metallic Pack which is composed of two pairs of the Bape Bapesta. The first features a full metallic silver upper accented by a white midsole and white laces. The second style yields a metallic gold base with similar white accents. There is no doubt that both these variations of the Bapesta are not made for everyone and feature some unique color schemes.

Jermaine Dupri is certainly no new name to the sneaker game, and the folks over at Bape have decided to hook up the successful producer/rapper with his own Bape Roadsta colorway. This pair has been nicknamed the “So So Def” Bape Roadsta Champion due to the fact that JD owns the So So Def record label. Featuring a white base with blue, gold, and red patent leather accents, this pair’s definitive uniqueness well represents the best of both brands. Another interesting aspect of this sneaker is the t-shirt, seen after the jump, which comes with it. Unfortunately, the So So Def x Bape Roadsta Champions is said to be an extremely limited release, so don’t expect to cop a pair anytime soon.
