Virgil Abloh Wears Off-White x BAPE Sneaker On Louis Vuitton Runway

Designer Virgil Alboh presented his second Louis Vuitton runway on Thursday (January 17, 2018) and took his bow wearing what appeared to be a first look at an Off-White x A Bathing Ape collaborative sneaker. The black Bapesta silhouette features a croc leather upper and is stamped with Off-White’s signature Helvitica print on the back medial side of the shoe. The white print reads: BAPE, Tokyo Japan © 1993.

First released in 2002, the Bapesta sneaker is inspired by Nike’s Air Force 1 silhouette with the Nike Swoosh swapped out for a lightening bolt star logo.

BAPE was launched in 1993 by Japanese creative Nigo ne Tomoaki Nagao. After piling up a massive amount of dept, Nigo in 2011 was forced to sell the brand to Hong Kong fashion conglomerate I.T Group for a mere $2.8 million. He stayed on with BAPE as a creative director for two years but is no longer associated with the brand.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
