A Bathing Ape BAPE STA

The BAPE STA is an iconic sneaker of A Bathing Ape (BAPE), a Japanese streetwear brand founded by Tomoaki "Nigo" Nagao. Released in the early 2000s, it's often associated with the rise of "sneaker culture" and stands out with its vibrant leather patterns and the distinctive star logo. Although the shoe's design heavily references the iconic Nike Air Force 1, it has carved its own niche in the streetwear world due to its limited production runs and unique designs. Over the years, the BAPE STA has seen several collaborations with artists and brands, such as Kanye West and JJJJound, cementing its position as a cultural icon in the streetwear scene.
