    LOL - Bape always goes a bit too far. These could be kinda cool (kinda) if it weren't for the ankle appliqués. I've never liked the shark tooth/spitfire motif either, but of course they were going to use that. If these were just the Bape camo they'd be pretty cool.

    I've been hoopin' in the Dame 4's for about 2 months now. They are very comfortable, but I'm not a big fan of the laces set up. The rubber loops that the lace go thru are already wearing out and it's hard to get the shoe snug and to stay snug. I have to retie them a few times during the 2 hours I play.

    That is a weird design "feature"...doesn't seem well thought out.
    I also really don't like the sock-fit that so many shoes are using these days - I want my shoes to have a traditional tongue.

    Yeah, you dont get much ankle support with the sock fit design.

    I'm sure he thinks Nurk is getting paid to wear them so he doesn't care? :dunno:

    Dame isn’t like that when it comes to kicks. He’s given me compliments on my old school Jordans I’ll wear. I will say that if I am wearing any Dame’s he’ll point or smile or something. Oops was this bragging?

    On a side note, this KD 10s Nurk is wearing.......arguably one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever worn.

    Those aren't the Bapes that I was commenting on. Pics weren't available at the time. I made a new post once I saw a pic.

    What's with the eyeball logo on the Dame 2018 allstar kicks? I like the red and charcoal ones a lot but can't handle those eyeballs on the big toes

    The shark nose-cone art from WWII fighters is a Bape design staple.

    I'm not really qualified to own or wear these, but they're pretty sick.
