The Bape 1st Camo Apesta For Spring 2011 = G.I. DOPE!

"The 1st camo pattern by A Bathing Ape is coming back strong. With other brands jumping on the camo train, it comes without surprise that Bape, known for this particular design, makes more heavy use of it again. Their high top Apesta canvas sneaker gets the 1st camo treatment for Spring 2011. Look out for a release this week."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Avid Livestyle readers will no doubt recall that I have had the exact opposite of a L.O.V.E. affair with A Bathing Ape. Whilst I heartily applaud Nigo's marketing genius, I largely view each and every 1 of his collections as bootlegging gone chic. No more, no less. That opinion withstanding, I can still appreciate derivative designs when they show just a touch of originality. Case In Point: The Bape 1st Camo Apesta for Spring 2011.

Obviously the king's of artificial exclusivity did NOT event camouflage, however, they have long flipped this slick method of crypsis and incorporated it into their looks.

Now, with camouflage making seismic waves upon many a trend forecaster's radar this season (NOTE: As always, beware the evil Trendoid forces that wish to co-opt your good taste and feast upon your integrity. Remember, true style is enduring ... and Y.O.U. don't need any magazine to tell Y.O.U. that!), it's only right that BAPE hit the retail battlefield to wage war on the trifling competition. Nigo's weapon of choice is a too cool for school pair of canvas Chuck's. Nice. I might need a pair of these in my life homie. Good shit!
