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.

In celebration of these warm summer months, Bape has released a collection of three picnic check print inspired Bapestas. Featuring colorways in Red, Blue, and Black, the two-tone model uses a smaller print to distinguish the midpanel from the rest of the rather flashy shoe — a wonderfully understated finishing touch. All three models are available now from A Bathing Ape retailers worldwide.
