We’ve got to give it up to BAPE — they’re going extra hard with the fly gear that’s been arriving lately! After the UltraBOOST collab with adidias and a fresh BAPESTA drop all within a week’s time, A Bathing Ape is back with some fresh frames that you can rock either on the Rx wave or as a cool pair of sunnies.
Launching under the BAPE EYEWEAR imprint for 2019, these glasses are built using a gold frame that’s packaged in a credit card-looking case, creating a look that’s strictly made for the streetwear ballers out there. For the days when you need a little more shade, a removable set of camo-printed lenses are included as well that can also be reverted back to reading glasses in a blink of an eye. A new age take on the flip-up shades made famous by A Different World‘s own Dwayne Wayne? Perhaps, but only if you can pull off the collegiate steez as well as the homie Kadeem Hardison did.
