Very Few, and by very few I mean enough to count on 1 hand with with and amputated finger, Bape Stas have ever caught my interest. The patent leather and obnoxious colors have always made me throw up in my mouth. I never fell into all the hype surrounding them either, which was not my attempt to act as if I was in some kind of protest. For the most part, I have always enjoyed subtle colorways on my kicks and every so often I will throw on a pair of Air Maxes or somehting Non Jordan that might stand out but its very rare.
I must give Nigo a nice golf clap for this spring release. All four of these sneakers are not screaming out at you and are extremely presentable. The Tri color idea really appeals to me because I would rather match my clothing than look like I just came out of a circus wearing 15 different colors, which is one of the reason why I never messed with any Bape Stas in the past. Thank god that they did not use any type of patent leather on these, it would have completely ruined the shoes to me. I have seen way too much patent leather within the past 2 years than I can handle. Plus if they would have added patent to this it would have completely took away from the subtleness of these sneakers.
They are currently available at the Bape Store in SoHo right now, $190 retail.
