The Court Force is really growing on me as a model… I really didn’t like it at first, and I’m still not crazy about the Lows, but I feel like the Highs are one the best-looking high-top models around. I’m not sure what it is about them. I feel like the sharp stitching and layering give them a really aggressive look, and I’m always down with aggressive.
Anyway, Overkill Shop in Berlin has two new Premium Court Forces in stock, a low and a high. Both use more or less the same texture scheme, which is pretty interesting: Denim, premium leather, and crocodile or textured leather for the swoosh.
I gotta give the upper hand to the Highs in this case. No, not just because I generally like them more than the Lows, but because the color scheme on the Lows is rather untimely… Those are prototypical Fall/Autumn colors and it’s pretty strange to see them on a mid-Winter release. The Highs, on the other hand, would look pretty fresh year-round, but I gotta say that the blue and gray conjure up thoughts of ice and Winter… But maybe that’s just me!

[...] I don’t feel like this is an extraordinary shoe, but I feel like it’s worth writing about because it’s more or less the only Bapesta I would consider wearing. Once again, as with those Court Forces, it’s kind of strange that such an obviously Fall-oriented color scheme is being released in the dead of Winter, but I feel like these are almost fresh enough to keep packed away for 10 months. I would guess, though, that that’s what will be happening to the majority of pairs of these shoes regardless of color scheme, due to Bape’s artificial limitedness and ridiculous prices! [...]
