The A Bathing Ape Bape SK8 Sta Black Suede is a skate shoe made of premium materials and a neutral colorway. This version features a base of white leather with a perforated toe box, side panels, eyestays, and ankle area. A black suede overlay rounds out the toe to form the mudguard and leads up to the eyestays, while another overlay forms the ankle strap running down and around the heel. The A Bathing Ape star logo appears on each side panel in black, and Bape Sta is stitched onto the heel collar in silver and on the tongue as a black patch. Some overlays are accented by gray outlines. A support with the number 93 on it can be found on the lateral heel. The shoe rests atop a white branded midsole and a black outsole. The most interesting aspects of this shoe are the silver and gray accents, giving it a more 3D design. The A Bathing Ape Bape SK8 Sta Black Suede was released on October 5, 2023, for $309.
