Does anyone have any information on the brand Bathing Ape?

[Futuristic_Eel]

I don't really like the clothing line, but the shoes are just amazing and I would like to know where I can purchase a pair in Toronto.

i buy mine at Goodfoot, it's the only place in canada that carry them.. They are on richmond, they range from 300 - 400 a pair.

I don't think Goodfoot is the only place that carries them in Canada. I know there's at least one shop in Vancouver that has Bathing Ape clothing for sale.

Does anyone know of any Asian clothing stores have them, barring the ones that sell fakes? The designer is Japanese afterall. I don't want to pay $300 for a pair of shoes.

There may be a place out in VAN that has em as well, but out here in the GTA and Montreal Goodfoot is the only place to buy em. In terms of clothing, there is ALOT of fakes out there, if your not paying 80 - 100 dollars plus for a shirt, your buying a fake, as for the shoes there are plenty of fakes on ebay for 80 bucks if you wana buy those. Nobody said buying bape was supposed to be affordable, it's for people who can afford to buy em. Heck i'm glad the shoes are 300 - 400 bucks, it keeps the posers far away.

Is the quality of Bathing Ape products good? Also, are you a shoe collector?

In terms of quality, it's not like your buying a pair of prada shoes, these are just sneakers. The reason for the price, they are rare has heck, often times colors are only release in very very limited quantities, plus they are hella cool. I'm not really a collector of shoes, i just like cool stuff.

How so? The poseurs will pose in the fakes just the same.

if you know bape, you'll be able to spot a fake. Most fakes are either shaped differently around the toe and heal, also alot of fakes infact most fake are colors that were never introduced. Either way, the best way to spot a poser, is to just to look at the rest of what they are wearing, if it all doesn't amount to what the shoes are supposed to be worth, then odds are the kicks are fake.

unless they spent all their money on shoes and can't afford anything else, or vice versa. lol

btw, which came out first Nike Dunks or Bathing Apes? A friend of mine spends money on both for some reason.

[Cruel_Angel]

Bapes are new, Bape was established in like 95, i don't know when the dunks came out, as far as bape shoes, i'm sure they have only been around for less than 5 years.

[Futuristic_Eel]

Does Goodfoot carry a large selection of Bape Stas? Basically, I want an all white shoe, but the AF1 has become so cliché among teenagers over the years.

[Cruel_Angel]

i doubt they will have an all white one. But you can try. I havn't been there in a while, actually i was supposed to go today, so i'm not too such what they have in stock right now.
