View Full Version : Bapesta! Uptempo: Rejected size 9 sample model?
The Locust

What do you guys think? Definitely something out of the norm. These were the only shots my boy sent me, but I've seen these in person; the lining is full premium leather, the white midsole (connecting to the grey soles near the back) is very very soft, like polycushioning found in tennis shoes. I kinda dig the whole "Footballers" look.
No word on if these were released in more colorways, and there is a POSSIBILITY these were actually released but I haven't ever seen these anywhere besides my boy's shoe drawer.
Discuss.

It's definitely not an award winning shoe for design, but it's definitely a conversation starter.

Another similar version of a nike shoe, I have a pair like that...they were soccer boots which were converted i& released as sneakers for indoor soccer etc
They were like these only without the studs & slightly different

im sorry but since when was bape a sporting brand
you cant wear those with jeans and if your gonna play sports why not buy from a brand with sporting reputation not from one which puts monkeys all over hoodies
these shoes must be worn with sporting gear because if not you will look very stupid...and when playing sports seriously do you really care if your shoes are colourful or patent?
i bet in the bape vault...bape has attempted to copy nearly every single style of nike shoe ever produced...but havent released any because its the wrong move
just possibly this shoe could be a faker becoming innovative (just a guess..im not calling it fake locust)
oh and im not a hater because...i like bape and actually do have some unlike the gangstaaaa posers

All of you must be on some good weed to want to pay 250 shipped for those shits. They're not ugly but not worth more than bapestas or roadies. Give me some of that meth so I can like these sneaks too please.
