What we think stands out most on the A Bathing Ape Bape Sta France is the glossy finish on the upper, which gives the shoe a unique, eye-catching aesthetic, making it stand out regardless of the outfit. The shoes were initially released for retail on July 1, 2022, for $185.

The shoe features a bold, contrasting color palette of Blue, White, and Yellow with crisp color-blocking.

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.
