The A Bathing Ape Bape Sta Nostalgic Blue Yellow is a retro-inspired sneaker created by A Bathing Ape (also known as BAPE), a Japanese streetwear label.
The shoe features a bold, contrasting color palette of Blue, White, and Yellow with crisp color-blocking. The upper is made of shiny patent leather with an extended star shooting across the side panel. Both the vamp and side panel have perforations, which allow the foot to breathe despite the thick material. The sneaker comes with extra padding along the collar and tongue, giving the sneaker a bulky appearance. Branding details include an ape head made of metal on the laces, a ‘BAPE STA’ logo tag on the tongue, and ‘BAPE STA’ lettering printed across the glossy heel tab.
Our experts love the blue midsole that provides color-blocking between the upper and outsole. The A Bathing Ape Bape Sta Nostalgic Blue Yellow was released on September 16, 2022, and retailed at $200.
