If you missed on out getting some rugged boots for this Fall/Winter 2011 season, then you still have hope this upcoming Spring/Summer as A Bathing Ape will be dropping these Mountain Soldier Boots, which can be seen here in their recently released lookbook. Slated to drop this first quarter of 2012, these boots will be coming in 3 colors: olive, navy, and yellow. These boots have the usual features such as a durable Vibram outsole, D-ring laces loops, and just an all around high-quality approach to the overall construction. We could probably do without the yellow, but the navy and olive are rather enticing, especially with elements such as the contrasting leather heel and tongue. Check out Zozo for more details.

Check out the boots after the click.

Would you wear these new metallic silver and gold patent leather BAPE STAs? As we talked about in our “Is Bling Coming Back?” article, these are certainly refreshing to see on a media-level, and remind of BAPE’s glory days (at least in the US.) Looking at the same brown leather and suede shoes all day can get tedious, so thank you BAPE for keeping things shiny.
