    “I don’t think our clothes are so expensive…”

    hahaha… word?

    “I’d like to say that other brands doing Bape knockoffs…”

    i’d take a pair of nikes, supras, or asics any day of the week before bapes… without daddy nike, their would be no bape…

    That shirt he has on looks so much like the supreme design

  • http://yahoo.com ShockAwe

    that’s the design of the page, not a shirt. haa.

  • http://nicekicks.com nick jumpan 23

    The shirt is decent it needs some more color though

  • Optimus Prime Rib

    What hasn’t bape knocked off? AF1, air max, chucks, and the materials they use are made of terrible quality.

  • edsmitty23

    I never really got into a bathing apes they just seemed like knock off AF1′S…. Pass on these.

    “I don’t think our clothes are so expensive; we make things in a very similar system to high-fashion designers”

    -Except high-fashion designers make stuff out of high-fashion material, like genuine leather or cashmere ,not plastic patent leather or cheap-as$ cotton.

    “But in reality, it’s really annoying to have to deal with it.”

    -Guess what? its ten times as annoying for nike.

  • soulie17

    man i remember last year bapes were like the fliest thing just cuz soulja boy wore them. Everybody had them so i got a pair and then realized these are retarded AF1 knockoff’s i havent worn them since

  • Kesey

  • homerimpson

    soulja boys caused the death of bapes just like wayne is doin supras

  • kstate

    bape fell off in 04… i think it was hot b/c it was so rare but then the knock offs came, soulja boy & then everybody with those fake camo hoodies…. smh

  • still kickin it

    ^^^^however id rather see weayne wearing supras over soulja boy rocking bapes anyday

  • http://thewetness.wordpress.com diego

    bapes don’t even compare to supras #10

    not a wayne fan by far but at least he has somewhat of a sense of style; supras are the dopest kicks next to the household fave nikes… soulja boy on the other hand is a ridiculous gimic… and the south was going strong too… soulja boy is a joke!
