The Hidden NY x BAPE Collab Drops This Weekend

Sometimes, it can still be hard to believe just how far Hidden NY has come from its humble beginnings as a social media archive page for the sneaker and streetwear worlds. Now, in a stunning display of just how far a digital footprint can bring you, Hidden is gearing up to drop its biggest collab yet, a full collection with BAPE featuring two pairs of co-branded BAPE STAs.

The Hidden NY x BAPE collab has been on our radar since an early zoomed image of a patent leather BAPE STA with a Hidden “h” logo on the heel surfaced online in January. Now, nearly four months later, we’ve finally got a zoomed-out look at the entire collection, including the patent leather BAPE STA, a tan suede pair, and a co-branded clothing capsule.

The patent pair is stark white across the entire upper with Hidden’s green shade on the lateral heel “h” logo and on the tongue tag. The tan suede pair follows the same blocking, keeping the upper monochrome and adding green to the branding. White is added to the midsole and laces of the tan pair for a bit more contrast. In addition to the shoes, a sweatsuit, hat, t-shirts, and a co-branded tray accessory round out the collection.

The Hidden NY x BAPE collection will be released May 2, 2026 through Hidden NY. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price on the shoes and clothing is still TBD. For all the latest BAPE collab info, make sure to download the Sole Retriever App.
