It seems like Bathing Ape is exploring beyond the horizon as it sets up the latest collaboration between two renowned shoe brands, Mark McNairy and Sperry Top-Sider. Mark McNairy offers England-made footwear that feature dirty bucks, saddle shoes, chukka boots, and loafers that all sport the red brick-colored sole. On the other end, Sperry Top-Sider is the original brand of boat shoe that was first introduced to the boating market and has never left.
These two well-established labels were picked by BAPE to be the base of make-over, utilizing the camouflage print as its most prominent design. With the Mark McNairy chukka, BAPE implemented camouflage canvas on the upper – a mixture of tan, black, and military green. The brogue, however, received the same cure but with an accent of soft grey suede. Both shoes maintain their original red brick-colored soles. BAPE also implemented the same camo print on the Sperry Top-Sider but with a little darker tone and retained the shoe”™s patented sole unit.
BAPE is set to drop all three pairs in limited stocks in the upcoming months.
