Could we see a collab from the two streetwear giants?

It's Paris Fashion Week which means we're seeing a ton of new fashion pieces. Whether it be jackets, dresses, shirts, or shoes, new stuff is being produced and is on the way. Considering he works for both Off-White and Louis Vuitton, Virgil Abloh has had himself a busy couple of days. Yesterday the designer and DJ showed off his Fall/Winter 2019 collection with Off-White, while today was dedicated to showing off his latest Louis Vuitton capsule.

When Virgil hit the runway to salute the crowd, it appeared as though he was wearing a never before seen pair of Bape Bapestas but with an Off-White twist. 

The shoes look as though they have that signature Off-White deconstructed style with a black crocodile skin upper, a white star on the side and the word "shoelaces" on the white laces.

There was no additional information offered about the pair. Abloh is known for wearing his own kicks months before they have been formally announced, in order to build hype.

Bape and Off-White are streetwear juggernauts at this point and a collaboration between the two would be sure to excite fans of the two brands.

Would you be interested in copping an Off-White Bapesta or will you pass instead?
