BAPE Delivers Four Gradient SK8 STA Sneakers
Mixing suede leather with signature calf grain leather in an array of colors.
Kicking off 2024, BAPE is expanding its signature SK8 STA sneaker lineup to include four new iterations that play with the brand’s classic materials and tones.
The brand’s latest footwear offerings enlist suede leather and signature calf grain leather for a mixed-textile construction that leans into both high-end and streetwear design codes. The shoes come in four bold hues, including “Grey/White,” “Beige,” “Black” and “Green,” with the famed BAPE STA logo situated in the center of the design.
The silhouette opts for a detail gradient treatment on its suede leather, which runs behind the aforementioned motif to offer a subtle transition from the front to the back of the design. The calf grain leather appears with a monochromatic finish and offers a textural contrast against its hue-shifting backdrop.
Zooming in, “BAPE STA” lettering appears on the heel, while the number “93” lands on the back side, representing the year that the brand was founded with a rubber finish. The tongue is finished with traditional “BAPE STA” iconography.
BAPE’s latest SK8 STA sneakers will be available to shop on January 6 via the brand’s webstore and in select stores. The design is listed for £309 GBP. Take a closer look at the fresh silhouettes in the gallery above.
