1993 saw the beginning of tastemaker Nigo's A Bathing Ape label, launched from Tokyo's Harajuku district, the heart of street fashion in Japan. The classic Bapesta sneaker debuted in 2002, elevating the label from the underground with its hoops-inspired look and often bold color blocking. The A Bathing Ape Bapesta FS-001 Low 'White Green' sneaker follows the original with toe box perforations and a shooting star side panel. A sturdy cupsole supports the look from below.
