SK8 Sta Shoes
Similar to its BAPE STA sibling, which took inspiration from the iconic Nike Air Force 1, the SK8 STA also references popular sneaker designs like the Nike Dunk Low and Nike SB Dunk.
The BAPE SK8 STA sneaker, first launched in 2000 by A Bathing Ape, quickly gained iconic status in the world of footwear, especially among skateboard enthusiasts. This shoe, renowned for its star-shaped "STA" logo and a diverse range of colors and designs, has been a significant part of Japanese hip-hop streetwear for over two decades. It has continually attracted attention worldwide, drawing in fashion aficionados and collectors, and has been associated with international celebrities like Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Jay Z, and Pusha T.
In 2023, the brand revisited this classic design with the release of the A Bathing Ape BAPE SK8 STA Panda Patent Leather. This particular edition stands out for its luxurious patent leather material and distinctive panda print, offering a unique fusion of elegance and street style. It's designed to add a sophisticated yet edgy touch to any outfit, showcasing an exclusive and refined look.
