Bape is still showing love for the U.S. stores in New York and Los Angeles by releasing a few more colorways of the Bapesta which will be exclusive to the aforementioned stores. The Bape Bapesta Store Colors are featured in two colorways to represent each store. LA rocks a very Lakers-esque colorway, with a white leather upper consisting of purple and blue patent leather panels, and yellow on the star, lace area, and outsole. The NY edition sports a less vibrant colorway of white, purple, silver, and black. The white leather upper is contrasted by purple and black patent leather, along with a silver star to go along with the lace area and outsole. These colorways, along with other store colorways, are available today at Bape LA and NY.
