Kanye West x Bapesta Fs-001 'College Dropout' Review

Kanye West x Bapesta Fs-001 ‘College Dropout’ Review

Description

Before Kanye West went on to create hype after hype through his collaborations with Nike, Louis Vuitton, and Adidas, one the artist’s first sneaker projects go back to the Kanye West x Bapesta Fs-001 'College Dropout'. Released in 2007 with Bape, these kicks feature a revamped look and feel for the Japanese brand’s flagship sneaker—the Bapesta. We reckon Kanye’s fans are going to love his ‘Dropout Bear’ mascot on the side panel, and the overall red, cream, and brown colorways, all of which are inspired by his 2004 debut studio album, ‘The College Dropout.’
