Urban Typography

This is an advertisement for Bape’s collaboration with Kanye West’s Bapesta Air Force 1. The word “Bapesta” is an example of urban typography.

I remember when Kanye first collabed with Bape, it had the sneaker world in a headlock. These shoes are quite difficult to get now unless you know someone or have deep pockets. In December of 2006, Bape and Kanye West released the “Dropout Bear” Bapestas for $300. These shoes currently resell for thousands of dollars.
