American artist Brian Donnelly—professionally known as Kaws—uses A Bathing Ape's classic Bapesta FS-029 as a canvas to express his distinctive, pop culture-influenced style. Emerging in 2006, this 'Chompers - Blue' version is dressed in patent leather with the illustrator's signature teeth motif detailing the toe and 'X' icons on the lightning bolts. Its foam midsole and pivot point rubber outsole match the tonal styling underfoot.
