This October, BAPE is unveiling the next chapter in its storied streetwear history with the release of the audacious new silhouette – the SHARK STA.
This all-new sneaker pays rightful homage to one of the brand’s most iconic creations, the SHARK FULL ZIP HOODIE, a piece that has become a staple synonymous with the Tokyo label. Transcending its origins to become a cultural marker in fashion, music, and art – the spirit of that very hoodie is now taking shape in a fresh silhouette, blending bold design with street-ready function.
Going above and beyond the bounds of just another generic sneaker release, the SHARK STA is a continuation of a legacy. Built with premium materials and crafted to stand out, it pulls key elements from the hoodie’s signature look. The instantly recognisable shark graphic thats been gracing the backs of trendsetters since 2004 comes into fruition as sleek, aggressive lines on the footwear. From the jagged shark teeth that cut through the design to the eye-catching details along the heel, this is a shoe made to turn heads.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the iconic SHARK FULL ZIP HOODIE and the debut of the SHARK STA sneaker, BAPE is releasing 11 exclusive Country Packs. Each pack is a tribute to nations that are driving global progress, celebrating their unique contributions to culture and innovation. Fusing style, heritage, and the bold spirit that has always defined the label, BAPE is truly delivering a piece of footwear that stands at the intersection of craftsmanship and creativity.
The BAPE SHARK STA arrives SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2024 at the BAPE STORE® London & ONLINE. Shop via the banner below…
