Who knew that the hardwood lanes would spawn its own micro-fashion aesthetic?
Drawing upon the true Americana bowling lane look, END applies premium full grain leathers in dark green, maroon, and light cream to their milestone collaboration with A Bathing Ape and the Bapesta. The green shade sits on the outer lateral side of the shoe, while the maroon splits evenly down the middle to create a mirror-image color-blocking. The signature Bape shooting star logo also alternates inversely, while contrasting stitching in the cream tone pops against the colored panels. Gum bottoms complete the classic look, while metallic lace dubrae featuring the English retailer sit at the base.
The Bapesta is part of the seven-piece Bowling collection that includes a varsity jacket, a tee, and an actual bowling bowl. Currently, END is hosting a Draw release for the footwear here; it officially releasing on December 3rd, 2022 for $265.
