Known more for outlandish colours and patterns set a against an urban aesthetic, BAPE has just released its version of the iconic creeper. Made famous by England’s Teddy Boys of the 1950s, creepers have been a footwear anchor amongst punk and rock n roll enthusiasts for over a half century. In adopting this design format, BAPE attempts to position itself towards a whole new audience. But by ignoring the elevated image of a traditional creeper foam sole, and going with more of a sneaker look, BAPE ensures its version is not only unique but in line with its existing clientle’s tastes. The Creep Sta is an interesting and fresh take on a timeless classic.
Available through BAPE retailers.
