Hidden NY Previews Patent Leather BAPE STA Collab
PublishedQuick Facts
- After dropping a 50-pair run of custom Air Force 1s last year, Hidden NY previewed what looks to be an official Nike AF1 collab for the new year
- However, it turns out the pair is a collab with BAPE on the BAPE STA
- There is no release info to share just yet
If there’s one thing the team at Hidden NY knows, it’s speaking success into existence. From the brand’s start as a sneaker and streetwear curation page on social media to a full-fledged brand with a series of Asics and Salomon collabs as well as limited clothing drops, Hidden has turned fandom into peerdom in incredible ways. Now, the brand has previewed a collab with BAPE.
The Hidden NY x BAPE STA preview was posted on social media over the weekend. There is just one picture of the lateral side heel, showcasing an embossed circle “h” Hidden NY logo imprinted in grey on crisp white patent leather.
On X, the photo was paired with the caption, “2026 — Loading…” but for now, that’s all the information we have. Hidden closed out 2025 with a pair of Asics collabs designed around the theme of dawn and dusk. This would mark Hidden's first collab with BAPE in any capacity, though we should also expect clothing to go alongside the sneaker.
As of now, there is no information about a release, sizing, or pricing on the Hidden NY x BAPE STA collab, but we’ll be waiting for this pair just like you, so rest assured, we’ll keep you updated with any new info as soon as we have it.
