A Bathing Ape Bape Sta Low Kanye West College Dropout Pearl To complete the luxe aestheticJanuary 2007 saw the release of one of Kanye West's first sneaker collaborations, a special edition Bapesta by A Bathing Ape. Unlike subsequent co branded releases in which Kanye created an entirely new silhouette from scratch, this joint venture utilizes an existing model: Bape's flagship sneaker. The design features a leather upper finished with colors and artwork inspired by West's debut studio album, The College Dropout.
