United Arrows x BAPE

At one point all I wore was a Bathing Ape, it was pretty much the only brand I wanted to wear. It created its very own sub-culture and pretty much changed the face of streetwear. Creating such hype and marketing it ridiculously well, it became a global brand. It then became extremely commercial and rather "un-cool" if thats the word. It became a US Hip-Hop brand.

I never really look out for new releases now, but this collaboration with United Arrows, who are one of our stockists in Japan, is very nice subtle and quirky in design and taking influence from British culture they produced some nice shoes. The moustache detail on the penny loafer is clever.



Keep it British.
