This sneaker is a poster child for the stars and stripes craze. Could it be one of those nationalistic sneakers around, or just one of those trying to become fashionable with some sense of country love?

The Bape Fall 2009 Bapesta Checker Pattern is a far cry from the Stars and Stripes flag of the United States mainly because of its colorway. Had Bathing Ape colored this sneaker red and blue, then that would have made it a flag-mimicking sneaker.

This sneaker comes in a red and white checker upper positioned differently to create that interesting look. It has whit accents on the star logo on the side panels, the laces and the inner lining.

The Bape Fall 2009 Bapesta Checker Pattern sneaker sports a white midsole, and very red outsole that can steal the thunder away from ordinary sneakers. The same sneaker is available in black and blue, so you can choose which footwear you’re going to wear for that special day.

You will find the red BAPE signature on the sole, as well as on the tongue tag.
