A Bathing Ape Bape Sta Italy

The A Bathing Ape Bape Sta Italy is part of a collection of patent leather sneakers celebrating different nations that was released before the 2022 World Cup. The Italy variation comes in a bright colorway of White, Green, and Red to match the country's national flag. Although the base is shiny White, the overlays come in contrasting Green and Red. In addition, an extended shooting star with a zigzag tail cuts across the side of the sneaker. BAPE branding includes a gorilla head charm on the laces, ‘BAPE’ in Green lettering across the lateral side of the rubber sole, and a ‘BAPE STA’ logo on the tongue tag. Something our experts love is the use of patent leather throughout the upper. It gives the shoe a retro feel and makes the colors more vibrant. The A Bathing Ape Bape Sta Italy was released on July 1, 2022, and retailed at $185.
