Not to beat a dead horse, but Jay-Z might've been on to something when he spit that "black for a year straight" line. Last week we highlighted the ten best black items of the summer, and today we're co-signing these murdered-out Bapes. That's right, black Bapes for summer. You ask why? We ask why not? These Bapestas not only provide a nice alternative from the mall-bought black/black Air Force Ones, but they'll also get you love from Teriyaki Boyz groupies. Ok, maybe not the last part, but you get the idea. Available now on the site's recently launched e-shop.
