You may remember the collaboration between A Bathing Ape and the cartoon show Spongebob Squarepants last year that resulted in a dope Bapesta sneaker and some tee shirts. Recently, Pharrell Williams was spotted rocking some Spongebob Bapestas that were similar to the version released last year, but with a small twist.
