A multi-talented Japanese tastemaker named Nigo founded A Bathing Ape in Tokyo in 1993. This brand was instrumental in introducing street fashion trends from the underground scene, eventually gaining recognition among American hip hop icons in the 2000s. In 2002, the Bapesta silhouette was created, and now, it is reimagined in the form of the Bapesta FS-001 Low 'Red Yellow' sneaker. This shoe embodies a design inspired by basketball culture, featuring striking color combinations and a durable cupsole construction.
